Eaton KCR Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC
Part Number: KCR
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann KCR cable limiter provides rapid overcurrent protection for copper feeders in heavy-duty electrical systems. Engineers often wrestle with nuisance trips or bulky protection assemblies when safeguarding large conductors in switchgear and distribution panels. This device offers RoHS compliance and essential electrical ratings—including 600 V and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating—so it fits standard industrial specs. With tubular end-to-end connections, a compact footprint, and a 750 kcmil copper wire size, it installs quickly into Eaton Bussmann series layouts, reducing installation time and lifecycle costs. By consolidating protection into a single robust component, procurement becomes simpler and maintenance planning more predictable.

FAQs
The KCR uses tubular end x tubular end connections and is designed for 750 kcmil copper conductors. Install it within Eaton Bussmann series layouts in 600 V environments, ensuring compatible enclosure space and alignment with upstream and downstream components. Its compact 1.9 in by 1.9 in footprint helps minimize enclosure crowding while delivering reliable protection.
A 200 kAIC interrupt rating means the device can safely interrupt high fault currents typical in industrial feeders, protecting downstream equipment and reducing the risk of arc flash or insulation damage. This rating is especially important for large copper feeders using 750 kcmil conductors in 600 V distribution networks.
Yes, the KCR is RoHS compliant, meaning it restricts hazardous substances to meet regulatory and environmental standards. This simplifies compliance across multi-site deployments and helps mitigate supply chain and sustainability concerns when sourcing protection components for industrial power systems.
The KCR cables limiter is ideal for high-current copper feeders in switchgear and distribution panels, supporting 750 kcmil conductors and tubular terminations. It suits industrial facilities with 600 V power systems requiring durable, space-efficient protection that reduces downtime and streamlines maintenance workflows.
