Eaton KAC-70 High Speed Industrial Fuse - UL Recognized
Part Number: KAC-70
Quick Summary
KAC high speed fuse protects industrial control circuits from short circuits and overcurrent in panel assemblies. Engineers often struggle to choose fuses that trip reliably during faults without nuisance openings from transient events. The KAC-70 is CE marked and UL Recognized, with a 70 A rating and 200 kAIC interrupt capability to meet global safety and performance standards. Designed for electrical protection in power distribution panels, it supports stud mounting and blade-end connections, delivering fast protection with compact installation and lower maintenance costs. This combination of certifications and robust current ratings translates to improved uptime and predictable protection for critical loads.

70 A operating current paired with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating delivers precise fault clearance, minimizing damage to upstream devices and improving system reliability. This performance supports measurable uptime gains and lower maintenance costs for power and control circuits in manufacturing lines. Use in control panels and switchgear assemblies where rapid disconnection of faults is critical for safety. Non-indicating design reduces panel clutter and lifecycle costs. There is no trip indicator to manage during installation, so teams rely on testing, indicators, and routine maintenance checks to verify status. The result is a robust protection solution that fits tight enclosures and minimizes misinterpretation during scheduled outages. Blade end x blade end connections and stud mounting offer flexible installation. The KAC-70 drops easily into existing boards without adapters, while stud mounting provides secure, vibration-resistant attachment in demanding environments. This simplifies replacement during refits and streamlines preventive maintenance programs. Physical specs support compact layouts: 1 in length, 1 in width, and 5 in height with a compact 0.27 lb weight. Standard packaging ensures straightforward stocking and consistent replacement parts across sites, helping maintenance teams reduce downtime when spares are readily available. Compliance and certifications underpin reliability. CE marking and UL Recognized status align with international electrical safety standards, helping you pass audits with confidence. These certifications also support procurement decisions in multinational facilities, ensuring consistent protection across equipment and regions. Industry context and compatibility: As part of the Eaton Bussmann Tron KAC family, the KAC-70 integrates with Bussmann catalogs and datasheets, including datasheet no. 720009 and the full line no. 1007. This coherence reduces engineering risk and speeds specification, sourcing, and installation in high-demand environments.

FAQs
The KAC-70 is designed for electrical protection in power distribution panels and control circuits within industrial automation environments. It uses blade end x blade end connections and stud mounting for secure fit in compact enclosures. With a 70 A rating and 200 kAIC interrupt capacity, it protects wiring, contactors, and drives from short circuits and high fault currents.
Key electrical specifications include a 70 A amperage rating and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, non-indicating design, and blade end x blade end connections with stud mounting. The unit measures 1 in length by 1 in width by 5 in height and weighs about 0.27 lb, enabling compact integration in dense panels. Compliances include CE Marked and UL Recognized.
The KAC-70 provides rapid fault clearance with a high interrupt rating, reducing damage to upstream equipment and limiting downtime after faults. Its compact form factor and compatible mounting options simplify panel retrofits and replacements, while UL/CE certifications support consistent procurement across facilities. Non-indicating design minimizes panel clutter, though status must be confirmed via testing or monitoring systems.
The KAC-70 is CE Marked and UL Recognized, aligning with EU and US safety standards for electrical protection components. These certifications help with regulatory compliance, inspection readiness, and supplier continuity across multinational sites. They also provide assurance that the fuse meets recognized criteria for short-circuit protection in demanding industrial environments.
Install the KAC-70 using its blade end x blade end connections complemented by stud mounting for secure attachment. Ensure correct orientation and electrical clearance in the panel, and verify compatibility with existing Bussmann Tron KAC devices. Replacement and stocking should follow standard Bussmann family practices to maintain consistent protection across lines and minimize downtime.
