Bussmann KLM-8 Fast-Acting Ferrule Fuse, 600 Vac, 8A, 100 kAIC

This Bussmann fuse is part of the Eaton Bussmann series KLM fuse line, engineered to deliver reliable overcurrent protection for demanding electrical systems. This fast-acting, non-indicating fuse is dual-rated at 600 Vac and 600 Vdc, carries an 8A amperage rating, and offers a high interrupting capacity of 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc. The fuse features ferrule end x ferrule end termination housed in a melamine tube body, with nickel-plated bronze ferrule ends providing durable, corrosion-resistant electrical contact. Designed for both AC and DC circuit protection, this fuse is well suited to industrial and commercial electrical applications where dependable, code-compliant performance is required. Its compact ferrule construction allows for straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders and blocks across a range of equipment.

Key Features

Bussmann KLM-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What amp ratings does the Bussmann KLM fuse come in?
The KLM Series is offered in 2A, 5A, 6A, 8A and 20A, ordered as KLM-2, KLM-5, KLM-6, KLM-8 and KLM-20. All of them share the same 600 Vac / 600 Vdc dual rating, so you pick purely on the amperage your circuit needs.
2) Can I use a KLM fuse on a DC circuit, not just AC?
Yes, the KLM is dual rated 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. Interrupting capacity differs between the two: 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc. If you are protecting a DC bus, size your available fault current against the 50 kAIC figure.
3) Is the KLM a time-delay fuse or fast-acting?
Fast-acting, non-time-delay. It clears short circuits and overcurrents quickly, which suits electronics, control circuits and equipment-level protection. If you are feeding a motor or a transformer with a heavy inrush, a fast-acting element will nuisance-open on startup, so a time-delay class fuse is the right choice there instead.
4) Will a KLM fuse fit my existing fuse holder?
The KLM has ferrule end by ferrule end termination, so it drops into ferrule-style fuse holders, blocks and disconnects rather than blade or bolt-down mountings. Ferrule fuses are held by clip or clamp contact, so match your holder's clip length and the fuse's diameter before ordering.
5) Does the KLM fuse show when it has blown?
No. The KLM is a non-indicating fuse, with no blown-fuse indicator pin or window. Troubleshooting means pulling the fuse and checking continuity, or relying on an indicating fuse holder. If a technician needs to see a blown fuse at a glance in a panel, specify an indicating type instead.
6) Is a 100 kAIC fuse overkill for a commercial panel?
Not usually. The 100 kAIC rating at 600 Vac is what lets the fuse be applied on services where available fault current is high, which is common downstream of large commercial transformers. Your fuse interrupting rating has to equal or exceed the available fault current at that point in the system, so a high AIC gives you headroom rather than a problem.
7) What is the KLM fuse body made of, and will it hold up in a dirty industrial enclosure?
The body is a melamine tube, an insulating material that handles the heat and mechanical abuse of industrial service, and the ferrule ends are nickel-plated bronze. The nickel plating is the part that matters for long-term reliability in damp or dusty gear, since corroded ferrules mean high-resistance contact and heat at the clips.
8) Where are KLM fuses typically used on an MRO parts shelf?
Common uses are branch circuit overcurrent protection, motor control and distribution equipment, panelboard and switchgear protection, and component-level protection inside equipment. Because the low ratings (2A through 20A) all share the same 600 V dual rating and ferrule format, facilities often stock the full amp range as one line item family for control panel repairs.
