Feature: 70 A current rating with 250 V operation and a fast-acting, current-limiting design in Eaton Bussmann’s RK1 family. Impact: Minimizes fault energy, reduces arc duration, and protects downstream wiring and components from damaging surges, translating into longer motor life and fewer nuisance trips. Application: Ideal for low-voltage branch circuit protection in control panels, machine interfaces, and power distribution blocks in industrial environments. Feature: Interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 250 VAC and 100 kAIC at 250 VDC. Impact: Ensures robust fault clearing for heavy loads, keeping downtime to a minimum. Application: Suitable for motor drives, conveyors, and equipment with substantial inrush or fault currents. Feature: Compact 5.88 in length with a 1x1 in footprint and light 0.27 lb weight; standard packaging. Impact: Enables easy drop-in replacement in existing RK1 fuse holders and panels with limited space. Application: Fits common Bussmann RK1 mounting enclosures across control cabinets. Feature: Rejection style design prevents installation in incompatible holders; non-indicating shape simplifies field checks. Impact: Reduces misfusing risk and simplifies maintenance. Application: In OEM assemblies and panel builds where reliability and clear assembly are required. Feature: Class RK1 fuse, 1 element, 70 A, 250 V; protection backed by high interrupt ratings. Impact: Predictable tripping behavior supports standard protection schemes; easy cross-reference with existing RK1 inventories. Application: Retrofit or new builds across industrial equipment including machine control, power distribution, and automation cabinets; compatible with standard Bussmann RK1 holders for quick deployment.

FAQs

Install the KTN-R-70 by aligning it with the RK1 fuse holder and inserting it until fully seated, taking advantage of the rejection-style design to prevent misinsertion. Ensure the 5.88 inch length and 1x1 inch footprint fit your panel. Use proper torque on mounting hardware and verify the circuit rating matches the 70 A, 250 V specification.
Key specs include a 70 A amperage rating, 250 V voltage rating, and high interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 250 VAC and 100 kAIC at 250 VDC. The fuse is a single-element RK1 class device with 5.88 inches length, 1x1 inch footprint, and weighs 0.27 lb. These values define suitability for protected feeders and loads.
Yes. The KTN-R-70 is designed for low-voltage protection in control panels, motor drives, and power distribution blocks. Its 70 A rating and high interrupt capacity help protect motor controllers and PLC panels from short circuits and surge events while allowing quick restoration after a fault.
RoHS compliance information can be verified via Eaton’s RoHS Search Tool. The datasheet lists Not Applicable for some compliances, and the product is a Class RK1 fuse. For CE or other regional certifications, consult your regulatory requirements and Eaton’s documentation for confirmation.
Using the KTN-R-70 reduces downtime due to its current-limiting, fast-acting protection and high interrupt ratings, which limit fault energy and minimize component damage. The rejection style and compact RK1 form factor simplify installation and field replacement, delivering lower maintenance costs and steadier machine uptime.
