Eaton KCA Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC

Part Number: KCA
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
KCA

Quick Summary

The Eaton KCA cable limiter protects copper conductors by limiting fault current in electrical distribution panels. In space-constrained enclosures, surge events can cause costly downtime and component damage, making robust protection essential. RoHS compliant and rated for 600 V with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, the KCA meets demanding industrial standards. Designed for #2 AWG copper conductors, it offers a compact footprint and reliable Bussmann series compatibility, delivering protection without complicating installation or maintenance. This combination supports safer, more reliable power distribution while reducing maintenance costs and fuse-related delays in critical facilities.

Feature: High interrupt rating of 200 kAIC ensures rapid fault interruption, protecting cables and equipment from high-energy fault events. Business Impact: Reduces arc energy and cascade damage, improving system uptime in critical processes. Application: Suitable for panelboards and switchgear feeding copper #2 AWG conductors. Feature: 600 V voltage rating provides adequate insulation and safe operation across typical industrial power circuits. Business Impact: Enables compliant installation in standard industrial distributions with robust insulation margins. Application: Electrical feeders and protection strategies in manufacturing and processing environments. Feature: Copper wire compatibility (#2 AWG) optimizes conductor protection while preserving design flexibility. Business Impact: Minimizes rewiring needs and leverages existing copper runs, lowering total installed cost. Application: Control panels, motor control centers, and MCC feeder sections. Feature: Non-indicating fuse indicator (no visual status) reduces maintenance checks and simplifies panel design. Business Impact: Streamlines diagnostics by relying on external monitoring schemes, lowering labor costs. Application: Systems with centralized status indication or remote monitoring. Feature: RoHS compliant construction ensures regulatory alignment and reduced hazardous substances in assemblies. Business Impact: Supports compliance auditing and environmental responsibility across facilities. Application: Any RoHS-required installation in European or global supply chains. Feature: Compact footprint (width 1.9 in, height 8.75 in, depth 1.9 in) and lightweight design (1.7 lb) fit dense panel layouts. Business Impact: Maximizes usable enclosure space, enabling higher packing density and easier retrofits. Application: Modernization projects and new builds with space constraints.

FAQs

Install in panelboards or switchgear where copper #2 AWG conductors are used. The device has a compact footprint (1.9 in W x 1.9 in D x 8.75 in H) and weighs about 1.7 lb, making it suitable for dense enclosures. Ensure the system voltage is within 600 V and plan for RoHS compliance in line with site standards.
The KCA features a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and a 600 V voltage rating. It uses copper wire (2 AWG) for connection and is RoHS compliant, offering reliable protection for typical industrial power circuits.
Yes. The KCA is specified for #2 AWG copper conductors, aligning with common control cabinet and panelboard wiring practices while enabling robust fault current limitation.
Ideal for panelboards, motor control centers, and switchgear where protecting copper feeders from high-energy faults is critical. Its compact size supports dense layouts, and its RoHS compliance helps meet regulatory requirements in diverse markets.
With a non-indicating fuse indicator, ongoing status checks can be minimized, relying on external monitoring. The high interrupt rating and rugged copper construction reduce cable damage and downtime, delivering lower maintenance costs and improved uptime across mission-critical installations.
