Eaton KOS600 Fuse - 10 kAIC
Part Number: KOS600
Quick Summary
The Eaton KOS600 fuse protects electrical circuits by interrupting fault currents in industrial power distribution. Engineers often struggle to balance fast protection with long service life in demanding environments. Compliances include CE Marked and CSA Certification (Not Applicable) to help meet European and North American requirements. With a knife-blade design, Class K5 construction, and a 600 V, 600 A rating, the device delivers reliable protection while fitting standard fuse blocks. This supports reduced downtime and predictable maintenance costs, while enabling scalable protection across panels and switchgear.

FAQs
Power down the panel and verify compatibility with knife-blade Edison fuse holders. Insert the KOS600 into a standard fuse block, ensuring the 13 inch length and 3x3 inch footprint fit the space. Confirm the amperage rating (600 A) matches the circuit design, then secure the fuse firmly and re-energize the system. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and safety protocols.
10 kAIC indicates the maximum interrupt current the fuse can safely break at its rated voltage. For the KOS600, this means it can interrupt fault currents up to 10,000 amperes without damage when used in 600 V circuits. This helps protect feeders, switchgear, and panels from catastrophic faults and reduces downtime.
Yes. The KOS600 is designed with a knife blade feature that aligns with standard Edison Bussmann-style knife blade holders. This compatibility simplifies installation, reduces replacement time, and supports quick service in busy industrial environments.
The KOS600 lists CE Marked compliance and CSA Certification noted as Not Applicable. This means it meets European CE requirements and has a documented CSA context, aiding cross-border installations. Always verify local regulatory requirements and consider broader regional standards when planning procurement.
The KOS600’s standard packaging, knife-blade design, and non-indicating indicator streamline stocking and replacement. Its 600 A, 10 kAIC rating provides robust protection, reducing fault-related downtime. Although labeled No warranty, predictable field performance and simple replacements contribute to lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime in heavy-duty facilities.
