FAQs
The KCD cable limiter is designed for copper conductors sized #2/0 AWG and operates at up to 600 V. It suits high-energy protection paths in switchgear, panels, and feeders, integrating with Eaton Bussmann series devices for reliable compatibility. Its compact 1.9 by 1.9 inch base and 8.75 inch height simplify cabinet installation and routing.
A 200 kAIC interrupt rating means the device is capable of safely interrupting fault currents up to 200 kiloamps without sustaining damage in standard conditions. This rating supports protection for heavy-duty feeders and motor circuits at 600 V, reducing arcing risk and downtime. Always verify system fault levels and coordinate with upstream protection to maximize protection.
Yes. The KCD is part of Eaton Bussmann series and is listed under the Bussmann protection catalog. It uses copper #2/0 AWG conductors and is designed to integrate with Bussmann series protection devices within standard 600 V distributions. For detailed compatibility, refer to the Bussmann catalog no. 1007 and the Eaton specification sheet.
KCD is RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and regulatory standards for electrical components. The data sheet does not list CE, IP, or SIL certifications; verify with the Eaton specification sheet for the latest compliance updates. RoHS helps ensure restricted hazardous substances are managed in manufacturing and end-use.
With a non-indicating fuse indicator and a compact footprint, the KCD reduces inspection time and cabinet space needs. The device weighs about 1.7 lb and accepts #2/0 AWG copper, enabling fast, tool-limited wiring in new builds or retrofits. Regular checks of RoHS compliance and mounting integrity help ensure ongoing protection and uptime.
