The **KTS-R-10** is a specific model of high-performance industrial fuse within the **Limitron™** series manufactured by **Bussmann (Eaton)**. It is categorized as a Class RK1 current-limiting fuse. --- ### ## Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key electrical characteristics of the KTS-R-10: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Model Number** | KTS-R-10 | | **Current Rating** | 10 Amperes | | **Voltage Rating** | 600 Vac (or less) | | **Interrupting Rating** | 200,000 Amps RMS Symmetrical | | **Fuse Class** | Class RK1 | | **Response Speed** | Fast-Acting | | **Physical Size** | 0.81" x 5.00" (Standard 600V RK size) | --- ### ## Internal Composition & Parts The KTS-R-10 is an electromechanical safety device consisting of several critical components: 1. **Fusible Element:** A precision-etched silver or copper link designed to melt at exactly 10A under sustained load, or instantly during a short circuit. 2. **Arc Quenching Filler:** The body is filled with high-purity **silica sand**. When the element blows, the sand turns into glass (fulgurite) to insulate the arc and prevent fire. 3. **Tube Body:** Constructed from high-grade **melamine** or fiberglass, providing high thermal stability and structural integrity under high pressure. 4. **End Caps (Ferrules):** High-conductivity metal caps that ensure a low-resistance connection to the fuse holder. 5. **Rejection Feature:** As a Class R fuse, it features a unique notch in one of the end caps to prevent the installation of lower-rated fuses (like Class H) into the same holder. --- ### ## Key Features & Applications * **Current Limitation:** Because it is an RK1 fuse, it is "Fast-Acting." It reacts significantly faster than Time-Delay fuses (like the FRS-R series), providing superior protection for sensitive electronic components. * **High Interrupting Capacity:** It can safely clear a fault of up to 200,000 Amps without exploding or breaching the casing. * **Common Uses:** * Protection of non-inductive loads. * Branch circuit protection. * Electric heating circuits. * Standard circuit breakers/switchgear protection.
