Eaton KLM-1/10 Fuse - 100 kAIC at 600 Vac
Part Number: KLM-1/10
Quick Summary
KLM fuse from Eaton provides fast overcurrent protection for DC control circuits and photovoltaic (PV) systems. Engineers often wrestle with undersized protection that trips during inrush or fails to isolate faults, risking equipment damage and downtime. This RoHS compliant, CE marked fuse delivers robust interrupt ratings of 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc, supporting safe operation across mixed DC environments. By combining a durable melamine tube with nickel-plated bronze endcaps, it offers reliable protection in industrial cabinets, panels, and PV inverters, while simplifying stocking and maintenance through standard packaging.

Eaton Specification Sheet - KLM-1/10
Feature: DC control circuit protection at 0.1 A rating → Business Impact: Precisely limits fault current in low-current control loops, reducing wear on relays and controllers while improving overall system reliability. Application: Control panels and DC control circuits in automation lines. Feature: High interrupt ratings (100 kAIC at 600 Vac; 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc) → Business Impact: Safe isolation of fault currents, protecting upstream power sources and downstream devices, lowering incident risk and repair costs. Application: PV arrays and DC power distributions. Feature: Voltage rating of 600 Vac / 600 Vdc → Business Impact: Enables one fuse to cover both AC and DC segments in mixed systems, reducing stocking needs and simplifying panel design. Application: Mixed DC control and PV installations. Feature: Non-indicating indicator → Business Impact: Minimal panel intrusion and cost; ideal where external status monitoring is provided by other devices or indicators. Application: Standard protection in compact enclosures. Feature: Nickel-plated bronze endcaps and melamine tube → Business Impact: Enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion in industrial environments, extending service intervals and uptime. Application: Harsh manufacturing floors and outdoor facilities. Feature: Standard packaging and Bussmann series compatibility → Business Impact: Faster replacements and streamlined procurement for maintenance teams. Application: Field service and OEM panel builds. In addition, RoHS compliance and CE marking support regulatory alignment and safer disposal, while the non-indicating design avoids misleading visual cues in multi-layer protection schemes.

FAQs
The KLM-1/10 is designed for DC control circuits and photovoltaic installations, offering a precise 0.1 A rating with 600 Vac and 600 Vdc limits. It protects control relays, drives, and PV inverters from overcurrent while tolerating DC fault conditions common in utility-scale and commercial solar setups. Its high interrupt ratings support safe isolation during faults, reducing downtime.
Yes. The KLM-1/10 fuse is RoHS compliant and CE marked, ensuring regulatory alignment for European markets and safer environmental handling. The non-indicating design means it relies on external protection monitoring, while still meeting stringent international safety and environmental standards.
The fuse provides 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc. These ratings indicate the maximum fault current the fuse can interrupt without sustaining damage, which is critical for protecting power sources, wiring, and downstream devices in both AC and DC portions of a system, especially in PV arrays and DC control circuits.
The KLM-1/10 is designed for standard Bussmann-series protection footprints, enabling straightforward replacement in existing panels and OEM assemblies. Its standard packaging and endcap configuration simplify installation, while its physical and electrical ratings align with common Bussmann fuse profiles, helping minimize integration risk in retrofits and new builds.
With a robust 0.1 A DC control rating and high AC/DC interrupt capabilities, the KLM-1/10 reduces nuisance trips and limits damage from fault currents, extending component life and lowering maintenance costs. Its durable construction and standard packaging also cut downtime during replacements and stocking overhead for spares.
