FAQs
The KTS-R-5 is a 5 A, Class RK1, current-limiting fuse with a 5 inch length and 0.8 inch width/height profile. It uses a knife-blade, rejection-style design that simplifies correct orientation and replacement. Ensure adequate clearance and mounting in standard fuse holders, and confirm the panel’s 600 V maximum rating aligns with your system. Always verify that the enclosure supports the 0.15 lb weight and the preferred mounting method to avoid misalignment or contact with adjacent components.
Key specs include a 5 A amperage rating, 600 V voltage rating, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac. This combination provides fast fault clearing and high-energy fault tolerance, reducing probability of downstream damage. These figures support selective coordination in motor starter circuits and power distribution within industrial equipment, helping prevent unnecessary shutdowns during transient faults.
Yes. The KTS-R-5 is designed for 600 V systems, offering a high interrupt rating of 200 kAIC and a 5 A current rating. Its Class RK1 designation means it’s part of a robust family intended for fast-acting protection in industrial control panels, motor drives, and power distribution applications where quick fault clearance is essential.
The KTS-R-5 is CE marked, signaling compliance with European safety standards. It belongs to the RK1 fuse family, which is a widely adopted standard in industrial protection. Always check for site-specific regulatory requirements and ensure the overall panel design complies with applicable UL/CSA guidance where required.
The knife-blade, rejection-style design reduces installation errors and speeds field replacements, cutting downtime during fuse changes. Its high interrupt rating allows selective coordination, protecting critical upstream equipment while minimizing unnecessary outages. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs, improved uptime, and more predictable operating expenses for manufacturing lines and automation systems.
