Eaton KOS60 Fuse Edison - Ferrule Design Class K5
Part Number: KOS60
Quick Summary
The Eaton KOS60 fuse Edison is a high-current protection device for electrical circuits in industrial controls. Engineers frequently struggle to balance fast fault clearance with nuisance trips and crowded panel spaces. It is CE marked, and CSA certification is not applicable for this unit. With ferrule-design construction and Class K5 interrupt characteristics, the KOS60 delivers reliable protection in power distribution, machine control, and panel assemblies. Its standardized 60 A, 600 V rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capacity translate into predictable behavior in demanding environments, enabling more efficient maintenance, quicker replacements, and leaner spare-part inventories. This reinforces asset uptime while supporting scalable automation deployments.

Special features
Ferrule design
Ferrule design provides robust contact integrity and easier insertion in Edison fuse holders, reducing wear and maintenance downtime. Business impact: longer service intervals, fewer nuisance contacts, and lower spare-part costs across multiple panels and machines. Application: ideal for machine control panels, feeder circuits, and regional distribution racks where reliability and quick replacements matter. 60 A at 600 V with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating delivers reliable overcurrent protection for power feeds and motor starters, enabling selective coordination and preventing cascading faults. Business impact: improved uptime, protected equipment, and minimized downstream damage. Application: suitable for industrial automation cabinets, PLC racks, and control enclosures requiring proven protection under high fault currents. Class K5 and non-indicating status streamline panel design, reducing false indicators and simplifying inspections. Business impact: faster commissioning, standardized stocking, and compatibility with existing Edison fuse holders. Application: panel builders and integrators seeking consistent, plug-and-play protection. Packaging type Standard, Quantity 10 enhances procurement efficiency and reduces stockouts, supporting scalable manufacturing environments.

FAQs
Install the KOS60 ferrule-design fuse directly into compatible Edison fuse holders within the control panel. Ensure the holder is rated for 60 A and 600 V, and verify the circuit is de-energized before insertion. The ferrule design simplifies seating and improves contact reliability, reducing the risk of loose connections during commissioning and maintenance.
The KOS60 is rated for 60 A continuous current, 600 V maximum voltage, and provides a 10 kA interrupt rating (AIC). This combination supports reliable protection for power feeds and control circuits in industrial environments while enabling selective coordination with upstream protections.
Yes. The KOS60 is designed for industrial protection applications, including control panels, machine feeders, and distribution racks. Its Class K5 fast-acting characteristics and 10 kAIC rating help guard motors and drives against short circuits while minimizing nuisance tripping in well-coordinated systems.
The KOS60 carries CE Marking, ensuring compliance with applicable European safety standards. CSA certification is noted as not applicable for this variant, so verify regional requirements before procurement to ensure full regulatory alignment in your facility.
With ferrule design for reliable seating, standardized 10-pack packaging for ease of stocking, and a robust 10 kAIC interrupt rating, the KOS60 helps reduce downtime during faults and maintenance. The predictable performance and straightforward replacement in Edison fuse holders translate into lower maintenance costs and faster repair cycles across serialized equipment fleets.
