Overview
The Cutler-Hammer RP6A16A160 is a 1600-amp rating plug assembly designed for the Digitrip RMS/R 510 electronic trip unit platform. It is used with Cutler Hammer Westinghouse / Eaton Digitrip RMS / R 510 Trip Units for Type SPB, DS, & LA Circuit Breakers. This is a precision electrical component that sets the calibration and trip characteristics for molded case circuit breakers in industrial distribution systems. The RP6A16A160 plug plugs directly into the Digitrip RMS/R trip mechanism to customize protection curves.
