Eaton KTU-6000 fuse - Class L, 200 kAIC at 600Vac
Part Number: KTU-6000
Quick Summary
The Eaton KTU-6000 fuse is a fast-acting current-limiting fuse designed for reliable protection in motor control centers and control cabinets. Engineers frequently contend with nuisance trips, short-circuit energy, and lengthy lead times when sourcing large blade fuses; the KTU-6000 addresses these challenges with robust interrupting capability and a bolt mounting design that simplifies installation. RoHS compliant and CE marked, it aligns with European and global safety standards while supporting safer maintenance practices. With its Class L rating and knife-blade design, this fuse fits industrial enclosures without compromising protection, and its 10.75 in length and 34 lb weight aid in cabinet layout and freight planning. The result is improved equipment protection and a streamlined procurement process for electrical protection and circuit control needs.

FAQs
When installing the KTU-6000, ensure bolt mounting is securely torqued to manufacturer specifications and that the enclosure supports a 10.75 inch length with the 7.13 inch width by 7.13 inch height footprint. Use proper end-bell orientation to maintain reliable current paths and verify that the fuse sits within the Bussmann family of KTU devices for efficient replacement and spares planning.
The 6000 A rating combined with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating ensures rapid fault clearance in high-energy faults, reducing arcing duration and electrode damage. This supports coordinated protection with upstream breakers and drives, minimizes fault energy transferred to cables and components, and enables safer, more reliable motor control and distribution networks in heavy industrial environments.
Yes. The KTU-6000 is designed for motor control centers and power distribution in industrial settings. Its Class L, current-limiting characteristics, and bolt-mounting installation simplify integration into MCC sections and distribution panels while maintaining high fault protection, regulatory compliance, and compatible compatibility with existing Bussmann series devices.
The KTU-6000 is RoHS compliant and CE marked, indicating compliance with European safety and environmental directives. This supports regulatory acceptance across multinational projects, simplifies supplier qualifications, and aligns with corporate sustainability goals while ensuring safer handling and disposal in daily maintenance tasks.
Plan for standard replacement intervals based on fault history and panel duty cycles, and maintain an inventory of spares compatible with Bussmann KTU devices. The non-indicating fuse design reduces visual wear but requires test or monitoring to verify status. Given its weight and dimensions, schedule forklift-safe handling and ensure mounting clearance in existing enclosures.
