Eaton KOS80 Fuse - 10 kAIC 600V Class K5

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The KOS80 uses a knife blade design that simplifies installation and replacement, reducing downtime during maintenance cycles and enabling faster service calls in panelboards and control cabinets. This translates to measurable downtime reductions and lower labor costs in high-volume electrical rooms where reliability matters. Feature → 80 A amperage rating paired with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust protection for motors, drives, and feeders without nuisance tripping in typical 600 V systems, improving process uptime and equipment safety in manufacturing lines. Feature → Class K5 classification provides a standardized protection class that aligns with Eaton’s Edison fuse family, ensuring predictable performance and compatibility with existing fusing strategies across control cabinets and switchgear. Feature → Non-indicating design minimizes visual wear and tampering concerns while keeping the form factor compact for crowded electrical enclosures, enabling cleaner installations in space-constrained panels. Feature → Standard packaging of five fuses per pack and a 7 in length supports straightforward stocking, procurement, and logistics for maintenance contracts and OEM installations. Feature → CSA certification reinforces compliance with safety requirements, helping engineering teams meet procurement specifications and audit trails while minimizing compliance risk in regulated facilities. Feature → 600 V rating matches common industrial distribution networks, facilitating reliable protection in machine centers, packaging lines, and process control loops without the need for adapters or special accessories.
