Eaton KLM-3 Fuse - 100 kAIC at 600 Vac

Part Number: KLM-3
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
KLM-3

Quick Summary

The Eaton Bussmann KLM-3 fuse provides reliable overcurrent protection for control panels and industrial power distribution. Engineers often encounter nuisance trips or miscoordination when protection devices are undersized, which drives unnecessary downtime and maintenance. This part is CE marked and RoHS compliant, with a 600 Vac / 600 Vdc rating and a 100 kAIC interrupt capability at 600 Vac (50 kAIC at 600 Vdc), ensuring robust safety margins. By standardizing on a compact ferrule-end design and a 3 A rating, you simplify inventory and improve maintenance cycles while meeting global compliance and performance requirements.

FAQs

Installation requires matching ferrule-end crimp terminals and a standard 3 A fuse rating. Ensure the equipment operates at 600 Vac/600 Vdc and that proper electrical clearance is maintained. Replace only with the same KLM-3 model to preserve interrupt rating and regulatory compliance.
The KLM-3 features a 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc, providing a high fault-current withstand capability. This reduces conductor damage and limits system-wide outages during short-circuit events.
Yes. The device is RoHS compliant and CE marked, aligning with European regulatory requirements and reducing compliance risk in global supply chains.
Ideal for control panels, relay logic, small-motor starters, and low-current circuits in industrial automation. Its compact ferrule-end design and 3 A rating fit panel-mounted protection without over-sizing, improving reliability and maintenance intervals.
Refer to Eaton Bussmann datasheets: the Eaton Specification Sheet for KLM-3 and the Bussmann series supplemental fuses data sheet No. 2020. These documents provide detailed ratings, construction, and installation guidance to support proper selection and compliance.
