Eaton KON500 Fuse - Class K5, 10 kAIC, CE Marked
Part Number: KON500
Quick Summary
KON500 is a high-current Edison fuse designed for protective interrupt of industrial power circuits. Engineers often struggle to balance fault protection with avoidable nuisance trips, delaying startups and increasing maintenance costs. This model is CE marked and built to Class K5 with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating for reliable protection at 250 V. In practice, KON500 supports global supply chains by aligning with Eaton's Edison fuse family, enabling faster procurement and consistent stocking. This design also benefits long-term serviceability and performance in applications requiring knife blade construction, non-indicating indicators, and 500 A protection.

Non-indicating
Feature: Knife blade construction paired with a 500 A amperage rating enables clean, fast fault interruption. Business Impact: This capability reduces arc energy and minimizes thermal stress on upstream devices, translating to fewer nuisance trips and longer equipment life. Application: Suited for high-current feeders in electrical panels, switchgear, and motor control centers across manufacturing and process industries. Feature: 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 250 V rating. Business Impact: Provides robust protection against high fault currents, supporting uptime in demanding environments. Application: Critical for motor starters and power distribution circuits in steel, chemical, and food processing facilities. Feature: Class K5 design with non-indicating fuse indicators. Business Impact: Class K5 expands compatibility with Eaton Edison lineage, while non-indicating reduces panel clutter and simplifies panel labeling. Application: Ideal where visual fault indicators are monitored by separate monitoring systems. Feature: CE Marked compliance; standard packaging; quantity 1. Business Impact: Enables global procurement, consistent stocking, and straightforward replacement in service inventories. Application: Global manufacturing operations require this level of compliance and packaging to streamline sourcing. Feature: Knife blade type and 1-piece packaging with standard 250 V rating. Business Impact: Simplifies installation, reduces mis-matching connectors, and supports quick swapping during maintenance. Application: Panelboards and distribution assemblies in electrical protection & circuit control portfolios.
