Eaton KDM-V Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC at 600 Vac
Part Number: KDM-V
Quick Summary
The Eaton KDM-V cable limiter provides fast fault interruption for large copper cables in switchgear and motor feeders. Engineers often struggle to protect downstream equipment while meeting tight panel space and installation constraints. This model is RoHS compliant and offers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac to safeguard networks, with copper 500 kcmil conductors. Non-indicating design reduces maintenance overhead, while shrink tube protection improves reliability in harsh environments. In practice, electricians gain quicker installation, clearer inventory planning, and a clear path for regulatory compliance, all while maintaining a compact footprint that fits modern electrical rooms and cabinets.

FAQs
The KDM-V is designed for large copper conductors up to 500 kcmil. This makes it suitable for high-capacity feeder runs in switchgear and motor control centers, where a high interrupt rating and robust protection are critical. Always verify conductor compatibility with the Eaton Bussmann series documentation and installation guidelines before specifying.
Yes. The KDM-V is part of the Eaton Bussmann series and is intended for integration with Bussmann protection solutions in electrical distribution panels, MCCs, and related switchgear. Ensure correct catalog number, mounting clearance, and shrink-tube protection as specified in the official Eaton datasheets to maximize reliability.
Key dimensions are 1.88 in length, 1.88 in width, and 5.96 in height, with a weight of 0.194 lb. It supports 500 kcmil copper conductors and includes shrink tube for protection. When installing, verify panel space, ensure proper conductor routing, and account for the non-indicating fuse indicator which may require external status monitoring.
The KDM-V is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory standards. The data provided does not list CE, SIL, or IP-specific certifications, so for project-specific regulatory requirements, confirm with the latest Eaton documentation or regional compliance guides before procurement.
A 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac provides strong fault protection for upstream gear and feeds, reducing the likelihood of cascading failures during faults. This translates into shorter downtime, lower repair costs, and improved system availability in demanding industrial environments such as manufacturing lines and critical power distribution.
