Eaton KCH Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC Fault-Current Protection
Part Number: KCH
Quick Summary
KCH cable limiter from Eaton protects power circuits by limiting fault current in motor control centers and switchgear. Inadequate fault current protection often leads to nuisance trips, equipment damage, and higher maintenance costs. This product is RoHS compliant; regional certifications vary by market, so consult Eaton literature to confirm any CE or equivalent requirements. With a compact footprint and copper 250 kcmil cable compatibility, it supports easier installations and improved system reliability for industrial plants. It complements Eaton Bussmann series protection strategies, helping engineers meet safety and uptime targets.

Eaton Specification Sheet - KCH
High interrupt rating of 200 kAIC enables fast quenching of short-circuit events without exceeding equipment ratings, protecting cables and busbars from thermal damage and reducing downtime. This device is rated for 600 V, aligning with standard industrial power systems and simplifying panel design while supporting compliant operations. The KCH handles 250 kcmil copper feeder connections, delivering low impedance paths that improve voltage drop and thermal performance across feeders in switchgear or motor control centers. The non-indicating design lowers accessory costs and simplifies installation, while remaining compatible with remote status monitoring schemes when required. Its RoHS compliance ensures environmental compliance and broader regional acceptance, while a compact form factor (1.9 in x 1.9 in base, 8.75 in height) enables straightforward mounting in dense panel layouts. By leveraging the KCH in a Bussmann-protected architecture, engineers reduce total cost of ownership and boost maintenance predictability.

FAQs
The KCH cable limiter provides high-current fault protection by limiting fault currents on copper feeders up to 250 kcmil, rated at 600 V and 200 kAIC, helping prevent damage and downtime in switchgear and motor control centers.
Yes. The KCH series is designed for copper conductors up to 250 kcmil, enabling direct, secure terminations and consistent protection across large feeders.
With a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and robust copper terminations, the KCH quickly interrupts high-energy faults, reducing arc energy in MCC buses and limiting thermal stress on equipment.
No. The KCH is non-indicating, which reduces cost and space; if status indication is required, consider a version with integrated indicators or a compatible monitoring solution.
Product dimensions are 1.9 in (W) x 1.9 in (D) with a height of 8.75 in, and the weight is about 1.7 lb, enabling compact installation in dense panel layouts.
