Eaton Specification Sheet - KDD
200 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust fault-current protection, reducing equipment stress and unplanned downtime in heavy-duty power systems. This translates to higher reliability for switchgear and feeders in manufacturing lines and processing plants, enabling longer asset life and lower maintenance costs. Copper wire size #2/0 AWG with tubular end x offset bolted end enables secure terminations using common copper feeders, speeding installation and reducing field wiring errors in crowded electrical cabinets. Non-indicating design minimizes visual clutter and avoids unnecessary maintenance activity, while still pairing neatly with other protection devices in a cohesive protection scheme. RoHS compliance helps streamline supplier qualification and regulatory adherence for projects with strict material restrictions. The compact dimensions (1.63 in depth, 9.25 in height, 2.21 in width) and light 1.9 lb weight support easier handling, safer lifts, and simpler retrofits in existing panels. Compatibility with Eaton Bussmann series catalogs aids procurement and ensures consistent protection across the install base, reducing spare parts variety and inventory costs. In tight installations, the tubular end x offset bolted end connection provides a dependable, industry-standard mounting method that minimizes misalignment and reduces commissioning time.

FAQs
The KDD uses tubular end x offset bolted ends, designed for secure, straightforward installations on #2/0 AWG copper conductors. This configuration supports alignment with standard panel buswork, simplifies terminations, and minimizes the risk of miswiring in crowded switchgear or distribution cabinets. Ensure proper torque on bolts per site practices and verify clearances around adjacent devices.
The KDD cable limiter has a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, meaning it is designed to interrupt fault currents up to 200 kiloamps at rated conditions. This level of protection helps prevent excessive arcing energy, reduces equipment damage, and improves overall system reliability in high-energy fault scenarios typical of industrial power distribution.
Yes. With a 200 kAIC rating and copper #2/0 AWG compatibility, the KDD is well-suited for protection of high-current motor feeders and feeder lines into switchgear. Its robust construction and standard wiring interfaces help ensure dependable protection in demanding environments, while its RoHS compliance supports regulatory expectations for industrial installations.
The provided data confirms RoHS compliance for the KDD. No CE, SIL, or IP certifications are listed in the data feed. If your project requires additional certifications, verify with the supplier or consult Eaton’s datasheets to confirm current certifications and any regional compliance updates before procurement.
The KDD’s non-indicating design reduces periodic maintenance checks while the tubular end x offset bolted end provides a reliable, alignment-friendly connection. Its lightweight (1.9 lb) and compact footprint ease handling and retrofits in existing panels, potentially lowering labor costs during installation. RoHS compliance helps avoid material-related regulatory delays, contributing to a more predictable project timeline and total cost of ownership.
