Eaton KTS-S-10 Fuse for fast protection - Ferrule design
Part Number: KTS-S-10
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann series KTS-S fuse provides fast-acting protection for low-current control circuits in industrial automation. In crowded control panels, securing reliable terminations and consistent performance can be challenging, but ferrule design helps prevent wire damage and improves clamp integrity. Engineers often verify standard approvals such as CE, UL, and IP-related criteria for panel integration and consult the datasheet for exact certifications. This solution supports predictable protection without nuisance trips and aligns with standard Bussmann components, enabling easier stocking and faster maintenance. Its compact 5 inch length and small footprint optimize panel layout while delivering reliable protection for sensitive automation circuits, sensors, and small actuators.

Eaton Specification Sheet - KTS-S-10
Ferrule design improves termination reliability and vibration resistance, reducing wire damage and intermittent connections in high-traffic automation panels. Business impact includes lower maintenance costs and fewer panel outages, translating to higher uptime for critical equipment across manufacturing lines. Application: control cabinets and automation racks where secure wire terminations are essential. The 10 A amperage rating provides selective protection, ensuring small loads remain energized while offering fast fault clearance when a fault occurs, minimizing downtime and protecting downstream devices. Application: low-to-medium current control circuits and sensor loops in automated systems. With a 5 in length and 0.82 in width, the fuse enables compact panel layouts, simplifying routing and mounting in tight spaces. Application: dense control panels and modular automation enclosures. Being part of the Bussmann LIMITRON fast-acting line, this device facilitates easy cross-reference and standardized stocking, supporting efficient maintenance programs. Application: multi-vendor panels and replacement planning. Installation and replacement are straightforward thanks to ferrule terminals that resist loosening, improving long-term reliability and reducing rework. Industry-leading protection strategies benefit from consistent part families and reduced spare-part diversity, supporting cost-effective BOM management.

FAQs
Power should be disconnected before installation. Select an appropriate ferrule-compatible fuse holder, trim or crimp conductors to fit the ferrule terminals, insert the KTS-S-10 fully, and secure the terminal screws to the recommended torque. After installation, verify a solid termination, inspect for any wire insulation damage, and perform a functional test to confirm proper protection and signaling.
The KTS-S-10 is a 10 A, fast-acting fuse with a 5 inch body length and 0.82 inch width, weighing 0.13 lb. It uses a ferrule design for termination, carries the Eaton Bussmann branding, and is listed with UPC 051712416108. It is intended for fast fault clearing in low-to-medium current control circuits within automation panels.
Yes. The KTS-S-10 is designed for protecting control circuits in automation environments, offering fast-acting protection with a compact form factor suitable for dense panels. It supports standard Bussmann series practices, enabling consistent protection across multiple devices and simplifying inventory management for panel builders and maintenance teams.
The product data notes that certain certifications are not listed. For exact regulatory approvals in your region, consult the Eaton datasheet and local electrical codes. Typical considerations in industrial settings include CE and UL-related requirements, as well as relevant IP considerations for enclosure protection.
Standardizing on the KTS-S-10 within control panels reduces spare-part variety and simplifies BOMs. The ferrule design minimizes termination issues and wire damage, lowering maintenance calls and downtime. Its 10 A rating aligns with common automation loads, enabling predictable protection and faster replacement, which translates to improved system reliability and lower total cost of ownership.
