Feature → Business Impact → Application: The TKM315 is rated at 315 A with AC 660 V and DC 460 V, enabling robust protection for heavy-duty control circuits; this reduces fuse-related downtime and protects valuable equipment in industrial networks. In practice, this means fewer nuisance trips and longer equipment life, especially in high-current start-up scenarios common in manufacturing lines. Feature → gL/gG classification indicates a high breaking capacity and reliable fault interruption, which translates to enhanced safety and compliance in critical power distributions for automotive, packaging, and processes industries. Feature → BS88 British Standard compliance, IEC 60269 alignment, and EAC/CE RoHS certifications provide a unified regulatory framework, simplifying cross-border procurement and audit readiness across UK/EU and global sites. Feature → Centre-bolted design and standard footprint ensure easy installation in existing BS88 fuse holders and panel layouts, reducing field wiring time and training needs. Feature → Dimensions and weight, specifically 161 mm length with a 53x53 mm footprint and 509 g weight, support straightforward rack-mount or panel integration, supporting lean maintenance programs and spare-part standardization. Feature → gL/gG fuses like TKM315 enable compatibility with Red Spot accessories and a broad supply ecosystem, mitigating obsolescence risk and enabling cost-effective replacements in mature plant fleets.
