High interrupt rating delivers immediate fault interruption, reducing equipment damage and downtime. Business impact: improved system availability and safer maintenance windows in heavy electrical rooms. Application: ideal for switchgear and feeder applications using large copper conductors such as 500 kcmil. The advanced 200 kAIC capability translates to enhanced protection coordination, lowering the risk of cascading faults across zones. Additionally, the 600 V rating supports reliable operation in typical low-to-medium voltage ecosystems, improving compliance with electrical codes during new builds or retrofits. Copper construction paired with a tubular end x offset bolted end connection provides robust mechanical stability, enabling quicker field installation and long-term reliability with minimal lug wear. This configuration reduces labor costs during commissioning and muda-free maintenance cycles. RoHS compliant materials ensure easier procurement and sustainability alignment for industrial facilities. With non-indicating fuse indicators and a compact profile, maintenance crews can verify connections quickly without sacrificing safety or performance. The KDM-C’s form factor supports scalable protection for growing feeders, while its compatibility with the Bussmann series catalog simplifies parts management and stocking. Overall, customers gain predictable protection, lower total cost of ownership, and smoother procurement workflows.

FAQs

Yes. The KDM-C cable limiter is designed specifically for 500 kcmil copper conductors and utilizes a tubular end x offset bolted end connection. This enables straightforward mounting in compatible switchgear and panel provisions, reducing field modification time. For best results, follow Eaton’s torque specifications and verify clearances within the enclosure to ensure reliable operation under fault conditions.
The KDM-C offers an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC and a voltage rating of 600 V. These ratings support high-energy fault interruption within typical commercial and industrial electrical systems, enabling safe separation of fault currents from downstream equipment. The combination of high interrupt capacity and standard voltage rating helps ensure protective coordination with upstream devices and minimizes damage during surge events.
KDM-C is well suited for industrial facilities with large copper feeders and switchgear assemblies. Common installations include power distribution panels, motor starter configurations, and protection schemes where 500 kcmil copper conductors are present. Its robust end connections and high interrupt capacity make it a reliable choice for data centers, manufacturing plants, and process facilities seeking strong fault protection without complex retrofits.
The KDM-C is RoHS compliant, aligning with modern environmental and material restrictions. It is rated for 600 V operation and provides a 200 kAIC interrupt capability, supporting compliance with typical utility and industrial protection standards. While other certifications may apply depending on regional requirements, these documented attributes ensure reliable performance in most standard electrical protection applications.
Using the KDM-C can lower total cost of ownership through reduced downtime during fault events, quicker commissioning thanks to compatible tubular end x offset bolted ends, and easier procurement with Bussmann series compatibility. Its durable copper construction and high interrupt rating help minimize equipment damage, extending service life and lowering maintenance frequency in high-energy environments.
