Eaton KIG cable limiter - 200 kAIC at 600 Vac

Part Number: KIG
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
KIG

Quick Summary

The KIG cable limiter from Eaton protects high-current circuits by interrupting fault current in switchgear and panel installations. Engineers often struggle with space-constrained enclosures and the need for reliable overcurrent protection on large copper cables. This unit is RoHS compliant and is designed for 600 V systems with an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC, aligning with safety and reliability standards. The combination of a robust electrical spec, compact form factor, and standard copper wiring enables faster deployment, reduced lifecycle costs, and easier procurement for industrial power distribution projects.

FAQs

The KIG installs with its tubular end and offset bolted end configuration, using copper #6 AWG conductors. Ensure 600 V system clearance, follow the Eaton specification sheet for torque and mounting steps, and verify enclosure compatibility to maintain an organized, safe installation.
The KIG offers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac, with a 600 V voltage rating and copper #6 AWG wire. The non-indicating status indicator means status checks require separate testing, not visual inspection.
Yes. The KIG is part of Eaton Bussmann series protection products and is designed for compatible tubular end connections, enabling straightforward integration with Bussmann-series panels, switchgear, and related protective devices.
The KIG is RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and regulatory compliance in modern manufacturing. No additional certifications are listed in the provided data, so verify project-specific standards as needed.
Its high 200 kAIC interrupt rating helps minimize downtime by rapidly clearing faults. Because it is non-indicating, plan for periodic electrical tests to confirm status. The compact form factor and reliable protection contribute to lower lifecycle costs and safer, more predictable operation.
