Eaton KOS175 Edison Fuse - Class K5 Knife Blade 10 kAIC
Part Number: KOS175
Quick Summary
Eaton Edison KOS fuse is a high-current protection device that safeguards electrical circuits in industrial control panels. For engineers, matching amperage, voltage, and interrupt ratings to your equipment can be time-consuming and error-prone. It carries CE marking and CSA-related certifications to support compliance across global installations, helping you avoid rework during audits. The 175 A rating at 600 V with a 10 kAIC interrupt capability provides reliable protection for motor starters and power distribution in harsh factory environments. With a knife-blade design and Class K5 classification, it integrates into standard Edison fuse holders. This model also offers straightforward procurement through standard packaging and a non-indicating fuse indicator, reducing maintenance overhead while preserving safety margins.

Special features
Non-indicating
Feature: High current and voltage ratings (175 A, 600 V) with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. Business Impact: Enables robust protection for demanding motor circuits and power distribution without compromising system uptime. Application: Industrial control panels, motor starters, and machine cabinets. The result is improved mean time between failures and reduced risk of cascading faults in high‑current applications. Feature: Knife-blade contact and Class K5 designation. Business Impact: Ensures secure, quick installation in standard Edison fuse holders, minimizing downtime during replacements. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds that rely on compatible fuse blocks in machine centers. Feature: Non-indicating fuse indicator. Business Impact: Reduces visual maintenance costs and simplifies stocking by eliminating indicator components, while relying on external condition monitoring where needed. Application: Low-maintenance panel designs with centralized alarm/monitoring schemes. Feature: Packaging and quantity (Standard packaging, 1 piece). Business Impact: Streamlines procurement, inventory planning, and field replacements with predictable lead times. Application: OEM assemblies and service inventories for industrial facilities. Feature: Compliance and certification (CE Marked; CSA Certification noted). Business Impact: Facilitates regulatory approvals and cross‑regional deployments, decreasing project risk. Application: Global manufacturing sites that require European and North American conformity. Feature: Physical footprint (9 in length; 1 in width and height; 0.001 lb). Business Impact: Easy handling and compact integration in crowded enclosures, reducing installation complexity. Application: Control panels with space constraints and modular fuse blocks.
