Eaton Specification Sheet - KCV
The 200 kAIC interrupt rating delivers high-current fault protection, reducing conductor damage and downtime while improving system safety. Business impact includes fewer unplanned outages and longer equipment life, particularly in switchgear, motor control centers, and feeder networks. The KCV design uses copper conductors up to 600 kcmil and tubular end connections, which translates to quicker, more reliable field terminations and reduced installation torque challenges. This combination supports serviceability and maintenance workflows, delivering measurable efficiency gains and lower total cost of ownership for industrial power distribution. The non-indicating fuse indicator simplifies visual inspection, reducing the need for ongoing status checks during routine maintenance. RoHS compliance further mitigates regulatory risk and waste handling concerns in modern facilities. The product’s rugged construction and clear field documentation help technicians install confidently, even in space-constrained panels, while ensuring consistent performance over the equipment lifecycle.

FAQs
Installation is facilitated by tubular end x tubular end connections designed for large copper conductors up to 600 kcmil. Ensure the feeder cable length and routing suit your enclosure, verify RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment, and follow Eaton's specification sheet for torque and termination guidelines. Proper alignment and secure fastening minimize thermal rise and ensure consistent fault protection.
The KCV delivers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating with copper conductors rated up to 600 kcmil. It uses tubular end connections and is non-indicating by design. Compliance is RoHS listed, supporting regulatory requirements in many regions. These specs translate to robust protection for high-current feeders in power distribution systems and reduced risk of catastrophic cable damage during faults.
Yes. With a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and 600 kcmil copper conductors, the KCV is well-suited for protecting large motor feeders and feeder circuits in switchgear and motor control centers. The tubular end connections simplify installation in space-constrained panels, while its robust construction ensures reliability under surge and fault conditions common in industrial environments.
The KCV is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and material restrictions for electrical components. While specific CE or IP ratings are not listed in the provided data, RoHS compliance supports regulatory expectations in many markets. Always verify local regulatory requirements and consult Eaton's datasheet for any region-specific certifications.
The KCV offers higher fault protection with up to 200 kAIC, reducing unplanned outages and equipment damage. Its tubular end connections speed up installation, lowering labor costs, while RoHS compliance simplifies disposal and compliance overhead. Over time, these factors contribute to lower maintenance costs and improved uptime in critical power distribution applications.
