Eaton KDR Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC, 600 V, RoHS Compliant
Part Number: KDR
Quick Summary
The KDR cable limiter from Eaton protects copper cables in power distribution, enabling fast fault clearance for feeders. Engineers often face nuisance trips and costly downtime when large copper feeders and bus connections are protected by undersized devices. RoHS compliant by design, this limiter aligns with environmental and regulatory expectations while delivering robust electrical protection. In practice, a compact, high‑rating limiter like KDR helps minimize maintenance costs and accelerate system reliability, making it a strategic fit for modern switchgear and distribution panels. Use cases span industrial facilities, data centers, and large manufacturing plants where dependable feeder protection is critical.

FAQs
Install the KDR using its Tubular end x offset bolted end mating with compatible Bussmann series buswork. Ensure the copper conductor is 750 kcmil, align with the 1.63 in depth and 2.21 in width, and torque to manufacturer recommendations. Verify the 600 V rating and 200 kAIC interrupt capability are suitable for your feeder protection scheme and that connections are clean and tight to maintain low contact resistance.
The KDR limiter provides a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and operates at 600 V. It is intended for large copper feeder protection in switchgear, motor control centers, and distribution panels where fast fault clearance is essential to protect cables and downstream equipment.
Yes, the KDR is RoHS compliant. This means restricted hazardous substances are controlled in the product, supporting environmental compliance, waste minimization, and easier end‑of‑life management in regulated facilities.
KDR combines high interrupt rating, suitable voltage, and a compatible 750 kcmil copper footprint with a compact form factor and easy mounting. This yields faster deployment, reduced inventory complexity, and improved reliability for heavy feeder protection in modern electrical rooms.
