FAQs
The KDU-V supports Class H and K5 configurations, enabling flexible protection across multiple circuit types within a single panel or across adjacent panels. Its tubular end x offset bolted end connections simplify field wiring and enhance installation speed, reducing commissioning time and potential wiring errors in dense control rooms and MCCs.
A 200 kAIC interrupt rating signifies the device can interrupt high-energy fault currents safely, limiting arc energy and protecting upstream gear, cables, and connected loads. For switchgear and MCCs, this translates to improved fault resilience, reduced risk of insulation damage, and enhanced personnel safety during fault events.
Yes. The KDU-V is designed for high-energy protection in power distribution environments, including motor control centers and large distribution panels. Its compatibility with Class H and Class K5 configurations, along with a 200 kAIC rating, makes it a versatile choice for diverse branch protections while simplifying spare-part management.
The KDU-V is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory requirements for modern electrical components. While CE or UL certifications are not indicated in the data, RoHS compliance supports procurement in regulated markets and reduces compliance risk for industrial deployments.
The KDU-V’s robust construction, durable copper terminations, and reliable end connections contribute to lower maintenance needs and longer service life. Its standardized design reduces part variety, simplifying spares, procurement, and preventative maintenance planning, yielding lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
