Eaton KLM-15 Fuse - 100 kAIC at 600 Vac
Part Number: KLM-15
Quick Summary
The Eaton KLM-15 fuse protects DC and AC circuits in industrial power distribution and control panels. This fast-acting device helps prevent nuisance trips while guarding expensive equipment from overcurrent events. It carries CE marking and RoHS compliance, supporting regulatory acceptance in global installations. The ferrule-end construction with nickel-plated endcaps simplifies field replacements in tight panel spaces, while the 15 A rating suits common machine loads. With a 50 kAIC duty at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac, it delivers reliable protection across mixed DC and AC environments. This combination delivers measurable business value by reducing downtime and extending component life in harsh industrial settings.

Eaton Specification Sheet - KLM-15
KLM-15~LIMITRON FAST ACTING FUSE
Datasheet - FNQ-30
The KLM-15 fuse combines a 15 A amperage rating with high interrupt capability (50 kAIC at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac), which directly reduces the risk of costly equipment damage during overcurrent events and short circuits. This translates to fewer unplanned outages and smoother manufacturing throughput, especially in mixed DC/AC power rails found in modern automation cells. The ferrule-end x ferrule-end connection and nickel-plated bronze endcaps enable quick, secure maintenance and replacement in crowded control panels, minimizing downtime during part swaps. Constructed with a melamine tube, the fuse delivers robust heat tolerance and dimensional stability in harsh industrial environments, while CE and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and international deployment. The non-indicating design streamlines installation in high-density cabinets and supports consistent safety margins across fleets. Compatibility with the Bussmann series ecosystem ensures seamless integration with existing protection schemes and HMI/PLC interfaces.

FAQs
The KLM-15 uses ferrule-end terminations, which simplifies insertion into standard Bussmann-style fuse blocks and panels. Ensure the panel clearance accommodates the ferrule ends and verify compatible fuse holders. Use standard safety practices, including de-energizing the panel during replacement and inspecting endcaps for corrosion after long service intervals.
With 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac, the KLM-15 provides high fault-clearing capability to prevent arc flash and equipment damage in mixed electrical environments. This enables safer startup sequences for motor drives and PLC power rails, while maintaining selectivity with adjacent protection devices.
Yes. The KLM-15 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for global installations. This reduces compliance risk during procurement and supports standardized environmental and safety requirements across manufacturing sites.
Industrial power distribution and control panels, machine automation circuits, conveyors, and mixed DC/AC power rails benefit from the 15 A rating, high interrupt ratings, and ferrule-end connections. The fuse helps minimize downtime, protects critical loads, and integrates smoothly with Bussmann series protection strategies.
Regular inspection of endcaps and ferrule connections, ensuring proper seating in the fuse holder, and replacing fuses at signs of discoloration or degradation helps extend service life. The melamine tube construction offers temperature stability, but periodic cleaning of panel enclosures reduces contamination that could affect contact integrity.
