Eaton Specification Sheet - KCF
Feature → Business Impact → Application: High interrupt rating of 200 kAIC minimizes arc and fault energy transfer to downstream equipment, reducing downtime and extending the life of cables and protective devices in industrial power systems. This translates to lower maintenance costs and improved safety in critical automation lines, especially in high-energy compartments such as switchgear and motor control centers. Application includes power distribution panels and busducts where tubular end connections are standard, allowing quick adaptation without custom fittings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 600 V voltage rating ensures compatibility with common industrial networks, allowing seamless integration into 480 V-to-600 V systems and reducing the risk of overvoltage exposure across runs. This supports compliance with electrical safety standards while simplifying procurement for multi-vendor installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper cable construction provides excellent conductivity and thermal performance, enabling reliable fault clearing under heavy fault currents. This improves overall system efficiency and protects copper conductors in crucible environments such as machine automation lines and process controls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Tubular end x tubular end connections offer robust, vibration-resistant mounting suitable for panel interiors and cramped spaces, improving installation speed and reducing field errors. This is advantageous for retrofit projects and new builds where space optimization is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS compliance aligns with global material restrictions, reducing regulatory risk and enabling smoother product stewardship across international projects. This supports procurement teams seeking compliant components for automotive, machinery, and process industries. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-indicating fuse indicator simplifies maintenance planning by eliminating false positives in normal operation, lowering nuisance alarms and enabling focused fault investigation in industrial environments.

FAQs
The KCF limiter is designed for tubular end x tubular end connections in copper cabling within distribution panels. Begin by verifying rating compatibility with your system, align the tubular ends to the limiter, and secure according to panel mounting practices. Ensure all connections are clean and tight to achieve the listed 200 kAIC interrupt performance and reliable fault clearing in high-energy circuits.
The KCF cable limiter provides an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC and a voltage rating of 600 V. It uses copper cable as the conductive element and features tubular end connections. It is RoHS compliant, aligning with material restrictions for industrial equipment and helping ensure regulatory compatibility in multinational installations.
Yes. The KCF is specifically designed for high-energy fault protection in power distribution panels and bus systems. Its tubular-end configuration and high interrupt rating make it well-suited for protecting copper cabling and downstream devices in control rooms, switchgear sections, and motor control centers.
The KCF is RoHS compliant, which ensures restricted use of hazardous substances in the product. This supports regulatory compliance across global markets and simplifies procurement for projects with strict environmental requirements.
Adopting the KCF cable limiter reduces downtime by delivering fast, reliable fault interruption (200 kAIC) and protecting copper conductors in high-energy circuits. Its robust construction, compatibility with tubular-end connections, and RoHS compliance help lower maintenance costs, improve safety, and streamline procurement for distributors and manufacturers.
