Eaton KLM-6 Fuse - 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc / 100 kAIC at 600 Vac
Part Number: KLM-6
Quick Summary
KLM-6 fuse protects electrical circuits in control panels and power distribution gear with fast-acting protection for 600 V systems. A common challenge in industrial environments is nuisance trips and difficult maintenance access; this fuse minimizes downtime through reliable interrupt ratings and straightforward ferrule-term connections. RoHS compliance and CE marking ensure regulatory alignment across EU markets, while the non-indicating design reduces panel clutter. Designed for compatibility with standard Bussmann/KLM components, it supports efficient sourcing and predictable replacement in automation environments, delivering consistent protection with minimal total cost of ownership.

KLM-6~LIMITRON FAST ACTING FUSE
Datasheet - FNQ-30
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Amperage rating of 6 A provides targeted protection for small to mid-size circuits, reducing motor and control panel damage while limiting downtime. This translates to lower maintenance costs and safer startup sequences in automated lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High interrupt ratings—50 kAIC at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac—allow the fuse to withstand large fault currents without nuisance tripping, enhancing system reliability in harsh industrial environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 600 Vac / 600 Vdc voltage rating ensures compatibility with both AC and DC powered assemblies, enabling design engineers to deploy a single protective device across diverse subsystems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ferrule end x ferrule end connections simplify mechanical termination, speeding installation and replacement while improving vibration resistance in panel enclosures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Melamine tube with nickel-plated bronze endcaps offers robust heat resistance and mechanical integrity, delivering longer service life in high-energy circuits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-indicating fuse type reduces visual indicators in busy panels, decreasing maintenance complexity and misidentification during routine checks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS compliant and CE marked ensures procurement compliance and easier cross-border sourcing, supporting global manufacturing operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact form factor and standard Bussmann family compatibility simplify stocking, replacement planning, and upstream supplier integration for OEMs and installers.

FAQs
To install the KLM-6, de-energize the system and verify compatibility with ferrule-end terminations. Insert the fuse so the ferrule ends seat firmly in the holder, replace only with an identical KLM-6, and secure the panel. Ensure clean, strain-free wiring and perform a functional check after restoration to confirm proper protection without impedance.
The KLM-6 offers an interrupt rating of 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac. This enables protection against high fault currents common in industrial mains and DC power circuits, reducing the risk of equipment damage and fire while maintaining fast fault isolation.
Yes. The KLM-6 is rated for 600 Vdc as well as 600 Vac, making it versatile for both DC and AC protection in control systems, drives, and 600 V distribution networks. When selecting, confirm that the actual system fault current remains within the 50 kAIC (DC) and 100 kAIC (AC) ratings.
The KLM-6 fuse is RoHS compliant and CE marked, ensuring regulatory conformity within EU markets and alignment with environmental standards. While UL/other agency markings are not listed in the provided data, always verify your regional requirements and reference the Eaton datasheet for full certification coverage.
The KLM-6 features a melamine tube with nickel-plated bronze endcaps and ferrule-end terminations. It is a non-indicating, fast-acting fuse designed for robust mechanical performance in panel enclosures. Weight is listed at 0.18 lb, and its compact form factor supports straightforward replacement and upgrading within Bussmann-series installations.
