Eaton KQV Cable Limiter - 200 kAIC at 600 Vac
Part Number: KQV
Quick Summary
Eaton KQV cable limiter provides reliable fault-current protection for 600 V electrical feeders and power distribution panels. Engineers frequently contend with high fault currents that can damage equipment and trigger costly downtime; the KQV helps mitigate these risks with a robust 200 kAIC interrupt rating. RoHS compliant design, copper 12 AWG conductors, and a tubular end x offset bolted end configuration support fast, secure installations. Its compact footprint and predictable performance simplify cabinet planning and scale protection across multiple feeders. As part of Eaton’s Bussmann series, KQV delivers proven compatibility with existing protection schemes and streamlined procurement for industrial facilities.

FAQs
To install the KQV, verify the system voltage is 600 V and the conductor is 12 AWG copper. Attach the tubular end to the corresponding terminal and secure the offset bolted end with the appropriate hardware. Ensure alignment and tighten fittings per the manufacturer datasheet to maintain the 200 kAIC protection rating during fault conditions.
Key specs include a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac, voltage rating of 600 V, and copper conductors #12 AWG. Dimensions are 1.63 in depth, 9.25 in height, 2.21 in width, with a weight of 1.9 lb. It is RoHS compliant and non-indicating, aligning with Bussmann protection standards.
Yes. The KQV cable limiter is designed for 600 V distribution panels, switchgear, and feeders. Its high interrupt rating, copper wiring, and secure end connections support reliable protection in control cabinets and power distribution enclosures typical of industrial facilities.
The KQV is RoHS compliant, which helps meet global restricted-substance requirements. The data provided does not list additional certifications, so users should consult Eaton documentation or contact a representative to confirm any region-specific standards beyond RoHS for their application.
The KQV’s non-indicating design reduces field maintenance while delivering high fault-current protection, minimizing downtime costs. Its robust 200 kAIC rating lowers risk of equipment damage and extends component life. Standardization within the Bussmann family simplifies spares, procurement, and maintenance planning across multiple enclosures.
