Eaton KCM-V Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC, 600 V RoHS
Part Number: KCM-V
Quick Summary
The Eaton KCM-V cable limiter protects copper feeders by interrupting high fault currents in industrial power distribution. Facilities often suffer nuisance trips and costly downtime when protection devices are mismatched to cable size or system demands. RoHS compliant and designed for 600 V circuits, the KCM-V delivers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating to safely clear faults in demanding environments. This combination supports reliable operation across factories, data centers, and process plants. The small form factor and tubular end connections simplify retrofits and new installs alike, while the shrink tube enhances insulation and field durability. From OEMs to maintenance teams, the KCM-V translates protection into uptime, safety, and lower lifecycle costs.

KCM-V~BUSS CABLE LIMITER
High-current protection capability: The KCM-V provides a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and 600 V rating, enabling rapid fault clearance on large copper feeders. This minimizes arc flash risk, downstream damage, and downtime, improving overall plant reliability. The result is a safer, more productive environment with fewer unplanned outages for critical processes. Compact form factor and tubular ends simplify installation in crowded panels and existing enclosures, reducing engineering time and retrofit costs while ensuring robust mechanical integrity. Copper conductor compatibility up to 500 kcmil supports heavy-duty applications such as motor starts and bus feeders, lowering the risk of overfuse or mis-sizing.

FAQs
To install the KCM-V, verify the feeder is copper up to 500 kcmil and ensure a 600 V system rating. Use the tubular end connections for secure, low-impedance terminations and apply the included shrink tube for improved insulation. Tighten all fittings to the manufacturer’s torque specification and confirm RoHS compliance in your panel documentation before energization.
The KCM-V features a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and a 600 V voltage rating, suitable for heavy-duty industrial protection. It is designed to handle copper conductors up to 500 kcmil and uses tubular end-to-end connections. These ratings support rapid fault clearing, safer operation, and compatibility with standard industrial switchgear.
Yes. The KCM-V is specifically designed for copper feeders up to 500 kcmil and tubular end connections, making it well-suited for large-diameter feeders in switchgear, motor control centers, and power distribution panels. Its 200 kAIC interrupt rating ensures reliable fault clearing in high-current environments without over-sizing components.
The KCM-V is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory requirements for electrical components. While specific regional certifications beyond RoHS aren’t listed in the data, ensure your installation complies with local electrical codes and your facility’s safety standards.
The non-indicating status reduces visual clutter while providing reliable performance, and the shrink-tube feature enhances insulation durability. These design choices minimize maintenance intervals, lower inspection labor, and contribute to improved uptime and total cost of ownership for facilities relying on robust fault protection in copper feeders.
