Eaton KDM-B Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC
Part Number: KDM-B
Quick Summary
Eaton KDM-B cable limiter provides reliable fault-current containment for copper feeder cables used in switchgear and power distribution panels. Installers often face mounting clearance challenges, wiring complexity, and downtime during maintenance, which this unit helps alleviate with its tubular end and offset bolted end design. RoHS compliant and rated for 200 kAIC at 600 V, the KDM-B supports 500 kcmil copper conductors, backed by Eaton’s durable construction and documentation including the spec sheet and catalogs. For panel builders and maintenance teams, this translates to faster deployments, reduced field labor, and lower lifecycle costs in heavy manufacturing and utility environments. Secondary benefits include robust environmental resilience and straightforward integration with existing buswork.

Eaton Specification Sheet - KDM-B
Feature: High interrupt rating of 200 kAIC and voltage rating of 600 V. Business Impact: Provides reliable fault-current containment for large feeders, reducing potential damage to switchgear and downstream equipment while lowering unplanned downtime. Application: Ideal for main feeders in industrial power distribution where fault energy must be quickly interrupted and system reliability is critical. Feature: Copper conductor compatibility up to 500 kcmil. Business Impact: Supports high-current applications with a compact footprint, enabling efficient conductor utilization and minimizing cabinet space needs. Application: Power panels and MCCs requiring large-diameter copper cables. Feature: Tubular end x offset bolted end connections. Business Impact: Eases mounting alignment and integration with existing busbar hardware, reducing installation time and risk of improper connections. Application: Retrofit projects and new installations in constrained enclosures. Feature: Molded rubber boot. Business Impact: Enhances environmental sealing and durability, lowering ingress-related maintenance and extending service life. Application: Outdoor or damp environments and demanding industrial settings. Feature: Non-indicating fuse status. Business Impact: Simplifies operation and reduces maintenance checks by eliminating unnecessary indicators; supports reliable, non-intrusive protection schemes. Application: Systems where separate status indicators are used elsewhere in the protection chain. Additional: RoHS compliant ensures regulatory alignment in modern facilities, while the unit’s rugged build supports long service intervals and reduced total cost of ownership.
