Eaton KCB Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC RoHS Compliant

Part Number: KCB
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
KCB

Quick Summary

KCB cable limiter is Eaton’s protective device that interrupts fault currents in industrial power distribution. A common challenge is unexpected outages caused by electrical faults that halt production lines. RoHS compliance and a 600 V rating with a 200 kAIC interrupt capacity support safe, compliant, and reliable protection. In practice, this translates to reduced downtime, easier procurement through Bussmann series catalogs, and improved long-term total cost of ownership. Engineers frequently cite straightforward compatibility with #1 AWG copper conductors, 600 V systems, and a non-indicating fuse indicator as practical benefits. This combination supports faster installation and consistent electrical safety across panel boards, switchgear, and feeders.

An interrupt rating of 200 kAIC provides robust fault-current protection for feeder cables and downstream equipment. This translates to measurable uptime improvements and lower repair costs when a fault occurs in heavy electrical systems. In applications such as panelboards, switchgear feeders, and bus duct installations in manufacturing facilities and process plants where fault events are a critical risk. 600 V voltage rating enables safe integration with common industrial power systems. Designers can standardize protection devices across 480/600 V networks without special adapters, streamlining procurement and spares management. Application: suitable for feeders and power distribution blocks in HVAC, automation panels, and machine centers where consistent voltage handling is essential. Copper conductor compatibility with #1 AWG wire size and a copper cable construction ensures reliable contact integrity, reduces installation rework, and supports longer service life of protective assemblies. Application: used in copper feeder runs and in Bussmann-series protected circuits where conductor size matches design specs. RoHS compliance supports regulatory alignment across Europe and North America. This simplifies supplier qualification and reduces risk during audits while maintaining performance. Application: wherever green electronics and compliance best practices are mandated in panel builds and distribution networks. Non-indicating fuse indicator and a compact footprint with dimensions of 1.9 in W, 8.75 in H, 1.9 in D and a weight of 1.7 lb enable predictable installation and easy field handling in crowded spaces. Application: suitable for limited-space enclosures, cabinet backs, and retrofit projects where space is at a premium. Catalog compatibility with Eaton Bussmann-series catalogs further streamlines sourcing and standardization across multi-site operations.

FAQs

The KCB cable limiter is designed for #1 AWG copper conductors and a 600 V system rating. With a 200 kAIC interrupt capacity, it provides robust short-circuit protection while maintaining straightforward integration into standard 600 V industrial distributions. This compatibility supports faster design validation and reduced wiring complexity during panel installs.
The KCB features a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and a 600 V voltage rating. These ratings indicate strong fault-current handling and safe operation within typical industrial power networks. For engineers, this translates to improved protection, reduced arc-flash risk, and better alignment with standard industrial protective schemes.
Yes. The KCB is part of the Eaton Bussmann series and is listed in Bussmann catalogs, facilitating easy sourcing and standardization. Its compatibility with Bussmann-series documentation helps procurement teams reduce lead times and maintain consistent part numbers across sites.
The KCB is ideal for panelboards, switchgear feeders, and bus duct installations in manufacturing and process environments. It protects copper feeders from fault currents, supports reliable uptime, and integrates smoothly into standard 600 V distribution networks with the 200 kAIC rating.
With a non-indicating fuse indicator, visual fault status is not shown on the device itself. Regular inspection of enclosure integrity, wiring connections, and RoHS compliance verification is recommended. Routine procurement reviews should ensure spares align with Bussmann catalogs to minimize downtime during replacements.
