FAQs
Install the KDM using the tubular end x offset bolted end connections specified for copper conductors up to 500 kcmil. Ensure proper torque on bolts per the Eaton datasheet, verify correct wire sizing, and confirm clearance around the unit. The 1.63 in depth and 2.21 in width should fit standard enclosure layouts, reducing panel crowding and simplifying routing of feeders.
The KDM provides a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and a 600 V voltage rating, enabling rapid fault interruption with controlled energy release. It uses copper conductors (500 kcmil) and features non-indicating status, so rely on station tests and panel documentation for verification. RoHS compliance supports regulatory and environmental requirements across industrial installations.
Yes. The KDM is designed for high-current feeders in industrial power distribution, offering robust fault isolation and compatibility with tubular end x offset bolted end connections. Its 600 V rating and 200 kAIC interrupt capability align with common manufacturing plant protection schemes, helping minimize downtime during fault events and streamline maintenance planning.
The KDM is RoHS compliant, reducing hazardous substances in the device and enabling easier disposal and recycling. While specific CE/SIL/IP certifications are not listed, the RoHS compliance, 600 V rating, and 200 kAIC interrupt capability are critical for regulatory alignment and safety validation in typical industrial environments.
The KDM provides rapid fault isolation with a high interrupt rating, which helps minimize downtime and potential collateral damage during faults. Its robust construction with copper conductors and stable 600 V operation supports extended service intervals, reducing spares inventory and maintenance labor. Documentation and RoHS compliance further streamline procurement and end-of-life planning.
