Eaton KDY cable limiter - 200 kAIC

Part Number: KDY
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
KDY

Quick Summary

The Eaton KDY cable limiter is a high-current protective device that safeguards copper feeders in switchgear, distribution panels, and feeder runs. Engineers often contend with nuisance faults and energy surges that can damage insulation and drive maintenance costs. RoHS compliant and built for tough industrial environments, the KDY delivers predictable interruption with a compact footprint. This translates to safer installations, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of ownership in critical power systems. Compatible with copper #4 AWG conductors and tubular end x offset bolted end connections, it integrates smoothly with Eaton Bussmann protection schemes. Its 200 kAIC interrupt rating matches common upstream protection levels for medium- to large-horsepower applications.

FAQs

For installation, ensure alignment with mating busbars and secure the tubular end and offset bolted end using manufacturer-recommended torque. Verify clearances in the enclosure to avoid contact with adjacent components, and confirm compatibility with standard copper #4 AWG conductors. Use proper fastening hardware and follow lockout-tagout procedures to minimize installation risk.
The KDY cable limiter features a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, designed for high-energy fault conditions. It supports copper conductors sized #4 AWG and uses a tubular end x offset bolted end connection. RoHS compliance ensures material safety, and the unit’s dimensions (approximately 9.25 in height, 2.21 in width, 1.63 in depth) translate to a compact form factor suitable for standard switchgear and panels.
Yes. The KDY is engineered for high-current protection in switchgear and distribution panels, offering robust fault-energy containment with a 200 kAIC rating. Its copper #4 AWG compatibility and tubular end x offset bolted end mounting support common industrial configurations, while RoHS compliance aligns with regulatory expectations for metal-enclosed electrical systems.
The KDY is RoHS compliant, which supports regulatory compliance and sustainability goals. While other regulatory marks such as CE or SIL are not listed in the provided data, RoHS compliance is a clear procurement differentiator for buyers prioritizing restricted substance controls and environmental responsibility in electrical protection devices.
The KDY helps reduce downtime by containing fault energy and protecting insulation, which lowers maintenance and replacement costs over time. Its simple mounting, standard copper wiring, and RoHS-compliant materials streamline sourcing and compliance, contributing to predictable maintenance intervals and improved uptime in switchgear, motor-control centers, and distribution panels.
