Eaton Bussmann KLM-8 fuse - 100 kAIC at 600 Vac
Part Number: KLM-8
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann KLM-8 fuse provides fast-acting overcurrent protection for control panels and power distribution assemblies. Engineers often contend with nuisance trips during startup or unexpected fuse wear that interrupts critical processes. This device carries CE marking and RoHS compliance, supporting regulatory readiness while delivering robust interrupt ratings of 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc. Designed for reliable integration, it uses ferrule-end connections, a melamine tube, and nickel-plated bronze endcaps to withstand demanding industrial environments. By combining a compact form with proven protection, the KLM-8 delivers reduced downtime, easier sourcing within the Bussmann series, and predictable lifecycle costs for panel builders and machine OEMs.
