Eaton KTK-8 Fuse - 100 kAIC at 600 V
Part Number: KTK-8
Quick Summary
Eaton KTK-8 fuse is a fast-acting protection device for control circuits and lighting applications. Engineers often contend with nuisance trips and downtime when protection is undersized or poorly specified. It carries CE Marked and RoHS compliant certifications, and features an 8 A rating with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 V. In practice, this fuse integrates easily with ferrule-end connections and nickel-plated bronze endcaps, delivering reliable protection in panel assemblies while keeping installation costs predictable. The combination of compact form and robust electrical ratings supports safer, more compliant electrical protection across industrial panels, switchgear, and metering enclosures.

FAQs
KTK-8 uses ferrule end connections with nickel-plated bronze endcaps and a melamine tube, rated for 600 V and 8 A. Mounting is straightforward in standard fuse holders or Bussmann series compatible traces. Ensure correct clearance and labeling, and source an identical KTK-8 part for replacements. Although non-indicating, external indicators or PLC feedback can be used for status monitoring.
The KTK-8 is rated for 8 A and 600 V, with an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 600 V. It is a non-indicating fuse designed for fast protection in control circuits, lighting circuits, and meter circuits. These ratings enable reliable short-circuit clearance while maintaining safe operating margins for connected loads.
Yes, the KTK-8 is CE marked and RoHS compliant. This confirms conformity with European safety and environmental standards, facilitating regulatory approval for EU-based projects and ensuring reduced hazardous substances in the supply chain. For panel builders, RoHS compliance simplifies procurement and supports sustainability goals without compromising protection quality.
KTK-8 is ideal for control circuits, lighting circuit protection, and meter circuit protection in industrial panels. Its 8 A rating and 600 V rating suit low-to-medium power applications, while the 100 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust short-circuit protection. The ferrule-end construction supports reliable terminations in standard Bussmann assemblies and retrofit projects.
KTK-8 delivers predictable protection with high short-circuit tolerance, reducing nuisance trips and downtime. Its compact form and standard ferrule-end connections simplify installation and replacement, lowering labor time. The device’s durable melamine tube and nickel-plated endcaps contribute to long service life, improving total cost of ownership for control panels and meter enclosures.
