FAQs
The KAC-12 supports blade end x blade end connections with a stud mounting method, designed for standard fuse holders and panel assemblies. Installation is straightforward: align the blade end contacts, secure the studs to the chassis or terminal blocks, and ensure clean, tight connections to minimize contact resistance. The 0.5 in depth and 0.5 in width help it fit in tight spaces, while its non-indicating design reduces panel clutter.
The KAC-12 is rated for 12 A with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling rapid fault interruption to protect downstream equipment. Its non-indicating design emphasizes space efficiency, and it is UL Recognized and CE Marked, confirming compliance with global safety and performance standards. The blade end x blade end configuration supports quick integration into standard fuse holders.
Yes. The 12 A rating with a 200 kAIC interrupt capability makes the KAC-12 well-suited for motor drives, control panels, and switchgear where fast clearing of short circuits is critical. Its compact dimensions and stud mounting simplify installation in crowded enclosures, while UL and CE certifications ensure regulatory compatibility across regions.
The KAC-12 carries UL Recognized and CE Marked certifications. UL Recognized confirms safe, reliable performance in North America, while the CE Mark indicates conformity with European safety and performance standards. Together, these certifications streamline supplier qualification, reduce regulatory risk, and support global deployment in multinational facilities.
The KAC-12’s fast interruption and compact form factor minimize downtime during fault events and simplify replacement in dense panel layouts. Its non-indicating design reduces panel complexity, while its robust ratings contribute to longer service intervals and predictable coordination with upstream devices. Overall, this can lower maintenance labor time and total cost of ownership in mature or expanding facilities.
