FAQs

Install the KHF limiter in accordance with Eaton’s specification sheet for the KHF model. Verify panel opening dimensions (approximately 13.7 in L x 12 in W x 10.2 in H) and ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation and service accessibility. Use proper mounting hardware and torque settings as outlined in the official datasheets, and confirm RoHS compliance for the installation environment.
The KHF cable limiter limits fault current energy transmitted along the protected cable runs, reducing stress on cables and downstream devices. This helps prevent insulation damage and component wear, contributing to longer service life for breakers, fuses, and contactors in power distribution panels and control cabinets. Its precise cataloging (KHF) aids in predictable performance and integration with Bussmann series protection schemes.
Yes, the KHF is designed for industrial wiring and connectivity within control panels and motor control centers. Its compatibility with the Eaton Bussmann family supports streamlined installation, standardized procurement, and consistent protection across multiple panel architectures. Always verify dimension compatibility (13.7 in L x 12 in W x 10.2 in H) and ensure it aligns with your panel cutouts and mounting provisions.
The available data confirms RoHS compliance for the KHF. Certification details beyond RoHS are region-specific and should be verified with Eaton’s technical support or the regional distributor. For mission-critical deployments, request the latest Eaton specification sheet and datasheets (KHF) to confirm any regional CE, SIL, or IP considerations required by your facility’s standards.
By limiting fault current and reducing nuisance trips, the KHF can lower unplanned downtime and extend the life of protected components, translating to lower maintenance costs and improved plant uptime. The standard catalog approach simplifies parts management and replacement, while RoHS compliance helps meet regulatory waste and environmental requirements, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s life cycle.
