Eaton
Part number
KTK-R-2-1/2

Quick Summary

The Eaton KTK-R-2-1/2 current-limiting fuse protects electrical control panels and machinery by rapidly interrupting faults. This Bussmann series device helps prevent nuisance trips and equipment damage in demanding industrial environments. UL Listed and CSA Certified marks, plus CE Marked RoHS compliance, ensure regulatory conformity across regions. With a 2.5 A rating, 600 V rating, and a high 200 kAIC interrupt capacity, it supports reliable protection in power distribution and control circuits. By combining fast-acting protection with a dual-element design, it reduces downtime and extends component life, while remaining compatible with standard ferrule-end mounting. For panel builders and integrators, this translates to shorter maintenance windows and improved safety margins.

FAQs

KTK-R-2-1/2 uses ferrule end connections on both ends (Ferrule end x Ferrule end), designed for standard Bussmann-style fuse holders in industrial panels. The ferrule design provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that withstands harsh environments. Installation is straightforward, and the ferrule ends help prevent loosening under electrical noise or temperature cycling.
The fuse features a 2.5 A amperage rating and a 600 V rating, with a current-limiting fast-acting profile and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. This combination enables rapid fault clearance while protecting sensitive components in power distribution and control circuits. The dual-element design also reduces arc energy and heat buildup during faults.
Yes. The KTK-R-2-1/2 is UL Listed and CSA Certified, confirming adherence to North American safety standards. It also carries CE Marking and RoHS compliance for global installations. These certifications streamline regulatory approvals for multi-site projects and reduce risk during panel design, assembly, and field service.
This fuse is well-suited to industrial control panels and machinery, street lighting, general lighting, capacitors, and distribution networks. Its 2.5 A rating supports small to mid-size circuits, while the 200 kAIC interrupt capacity handles occasional large faults. Rejection style and ferrule-end connections simplify integration into existing Bussmann/terminal blocks, supporting faster commissioning and lower maintenance costs.
Time-current behavior is provided by Eaton’s time-current curve; the KTK-R-2-1/2 is a fast-acting current-limiting fuse designed to open quickly when fault currents exceed its rating. For design validation, consult the KTK-R datasheets and curve graphs to ensure proper coordination with upstream protection and to minimize nuisance trips while protecting sensitive components.
