FAQs

To install the JKS-60, ensure you are handling a 60 A circuit and that the ferrule-end terminals align with your panel’s fuse blocks. Insert the fuse with a firm, level push, then secure the ferrules per your panel’s grounding and conductor routing guidelines. Confirm impedance and clearance meet the device’s 600 V rating and verify the 200 kAIC interrupt capability is suitable for your fault currents.
The JKS-60 utilizes Class J characteristics with fast-acting, current-limiting behavior and a high 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac. This combination minimizes fault energy, protects connected equipment, and maintains system availability in medium-voltage control circuits, motor protection, and distribution blocks commonly found in industrial automation.
Yes. The JKS-60 is well-suited for motor control centers, PLC power rails, and control-panel protection where 60 A circuits must be reliably interrupted at 600 Vac. Its current-limiting properties help reduce arc energy, while the ferrule-end design supports quick, stable connections in dense MCC environments.
The JKS-60 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with European safety and environmental standards. While it is not listed as UL or other agency-specific certified in the provided data, it meets essential regulatory requirements for many global applications and is compatible with Bussmann Series protection strategies.
Using the JKS-60 can reduce total cost of ownership by decreasing nuisance trips and limiting fault energy, which lowers maintenance costs and extends equipment life. Its compatibility with standard ferrule-end connections streamlines installation and technician training, while the 10-piece packaging helps with stocking, ordering accuracy, and BOM consistency.
