TPS-10 offers a 10 A current rating and a 170 Vdc voltage limit, enabling precise protection for telecom power distribution without sacrificing system availability in network equipment and telecom racks. This targeted specification helps prevent over-tripping on normal transients while still providing fast response when faults occur, translating to fewer unnecessary outages and longer equipment life. The 100 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust protection for high-energy fault events typical in data centers and field-deployed telecom infrastructure, reducing arc energy and safeguarding busbars and power supplies. With current-limiting action, the fuse confines fault current to safer levels, enabling downstream protection devices to do their jobs and supporting faster recovery after a fault. Physical construction reinforces reliability: ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections offer proven, corrosion-resistant terminations, a glass melamine tube resists vibration and temperature changes, and silver-plated brass ferrules provide durable, low-resistance contact. The non-indicating design simplifies panel diagnostics and reduces the need for continuous status checks during maintenance, while the standard packaging type keeps stocking simple for procurement teams. In terms of compliance and lifecycle, the TPS-10 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with global regulatory requirements and helping streamline cross-border deployments. Compatible with Bussmann Telpower TPS families, it integrates with existing protection strategies and minimizes spare-part complexity for service teams. Overall, the TPS-10 delivers reliable protection with straightforward installation, driving uptime, reducing maintenance costs, and supporting efficient telecom power distribution across critical networks. Engineers also value the compact footprint, which aids in creating clean, space-efficient panel layouts in space-constrained facilities.

FAQs
TPS-10 is designed for telecom power distribution circuits and network equipment that require a 10 A, 170 Vdc protection level with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating. It uses ferrule-end x ferrule-end terminations and is part of the Bussmann Telpower TPS family. This makes it suitable for protection in distribution panels, telecom racks, and data-center infrastructure where fast fault clearing is essential.
TPS-10 provides current-limiting protection with a 170 Vdc rating and 10 A capacity, interrupting faults quickly to minimize energy released into downstream components. Its 100 kAIC rating withstands high-energy faults common in telecom environments, helping protect power supplies, cabling, and sensitive equipment while facilitating quicker recovery after a fault.
Yes. The TPS-10 carries CE marking and RoHS compliance, meeting essential European regulatory requirements for electrical protection devices. This ensures compatibility with global deployments while supporting compliance objectives in cross-border telecom projects and data-center installations.
Installation uses ferrule-end x ferrule-end terminations with a glass melamine tube and silver-plated brass ferrules for durable connections. The fuse is non-indicating and packaged in a standard format, simplifying panel layouts and maintenance workflows. These features reduce installation time and help ensure a reliable, code-compliant protection setup in telecom panels.
The TPS-10 lists a Not Applicable warranty in the provided data, typical for certain protective devices. Lifecycle considerations include robust 100 kAIC interruption capability, 170 Vdc rating, and current-limiting behavior that supports long-term reliability in telecom power distribution. Regular inspection and standard spare parts stocking are advised to minimize downtime during replacements.
