Eaton KDU Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC RoHS Compliant
Part Number: KDU
Quick Summary
The Eaton KDU cable limiter protects feeders by capping fault currents in industrial power distribution. Engineers often struggle to find a limiter that fits copper cabling and the tubular end x offset bolted end configuration without complicating installation. RoHS compliant and rated for up to 200 kAIC interrupt capability, it delivers reliable short‑circuit protection for high-energy systems. With a compact 2.5 in depth, 2.5 in width, and 11 in height, it fits tight panels and simplifies integration for standard copper feeders. Weighing 3.9 lb, it's easy to handle during installation and supports long-term reliability in mission‑critical electrical rooms.

KDU~BUSS CABLE LIMITER
Interrupt rating of 200 kAIC provides a robust protective margin against high‑energy faults, reducing bus bar damage and unplanned downtime. This translates into fewer emergency outages and lower maintenance costs in manufacturing environments. Use in motor control centers, switchgear, and panelboards where fast fault isolation is critical. Copper conductor construction delivers low resistance pathways and efficient heat dissipation, improving electrical performance and extending component life. This supports energy efficiency targets and stable operation in copper-based feeders found in industrial distribution enclosures. Tubular end x offset bolted end connection simplifies mounting to existing bus bars and reduces installation time, lowering labor costs and risk of misalignment. It’s well suited for panel assemblies and equipment with standard tubular-to-bolted interfaces. RoHS compliance aligns procurement with environmental standards and regulatory requirements, enabling compliant sourcing across diverse industries such as automotive, electronics manufacturing, and healthcare facilities. The compact footprint and 3.9 lb weight enable denser panel layouts and easier handling, supporting quick commissioning in space‑constrained control rooms and machine bays. The non‑indicating fuse indicator reduces front‑panel clutter and maintenance overhead, while external diagnostics can be used for status monitoring in centralized systems, helping sustain predictive maintenance programs without sacrificing protection.

FAQs
The KDU cable limiter is designed for high-energy fault protection in industrial feeders and switchgear. It is well-suited for control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards in manufacturing and process environments where reliable fault current limiting is critical and space is at a premium.
Installers should align the tubular end with the bolted end interface on the bus bars, secure with appropriate hardware, and verify copper conductor continuity. The offset bolted end design simplifies mounting and reduces misalignment risk, speeding up panel commissioning in new builds or retrofits.
The KDU offers an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC, with copper conductor and a tubular end x offset bolted end connection. It measures 2.5 in in depth and width, and 11 in in height, weighing 3.9 lb, and complies with RoHS standards.
Yes, the KDU is RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements for regulated industries. The data sheet focuses on high-energy fault protection rather than generic certifications; ensure your project specifications reflect RoHS compliance for material and process restrictions.
The KDU uses a non-indicating fuse indicator, meaning there is no front-panel visual indicator for fuse status. For maintenance, rely on external diagnostics or centralized protection monitoring to track status, reducing field checks while preserving protection performance.
