KTK-30, Eaton 30A F Melamine Cartridge Fuse, 10 x 38mm, Предохранитель

Eaton Bussmann Series Fast Acting Fuses - KTK

Eaton’s Bussmann series KTK fast-acting supplemental fuses for resistive loads such as control circuits, meter circuits and lighting circuit protection. These cartridge fuses have a melamine tube construction and nickel-plated end caps. For superior protection, Eaton Bussmann recommends upgrading to Low-Peak™ Class CC fuses.

What Speed is it?

These cartridge fuses are “F” speed rated, which is short for Fast Acting. This is also known as fast blow and is popular in general purpose applications. They are designed not to handle current spikes over the rated current.

What size is it?

These cartridge fuses are available in the compact size of 10x38 mm, also known as American Midget style fuses.

What voltage is it?

These cartridge fuses are available with 1 to 30 Amp current ratings for applications where the system voltage rating is 600 Volts AC.

What is Breaking Capacity?

Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or breaking. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit.

What are cartridge fuses used for?

• For the protection of components and equipment from costly damage used by over-current
• To isolate sub-systems from the main system once a fault has appeared

What is an overcurrent?

It is a setting where a circuit experiences a current that is higher than the normal operating current.

Features and benefits

• Color coded black for 600Vac voltage rating
• Fast-acting for resistive loads
• Melamine tube construction
• Nickel-plated endcaps
• Cylindrical body

Eaton Melamine Cartridge Fuse, 10mm Diameter, 30A - KTK-30

This fast-acting cartridge fuse from the Eaton range provides protection against short circuit and overcurrent faults. It does this by rapidly cutting power to your equipment when a fault is detected – this prevents electric shocks or damage to the machine. The unit has conductive nickel-plated bronze contacts on each end for a reliable connection. These are also corrosion-resistant, so they won't decay due to rust. Fuses like these are used in a range of applications, from meter circuits to industrial control panels.

Features & Benefits

• Colour-coded black so you can quickly identify this as a 600V AC (alternating current) rated component
• F-speed rated for a fast response to the slightest overcurrent
• Compact dimensions of 38 (length) x 10mm (diameter) for use in circuits with limited space
• High breaking capacity of 100,000A for safe use in a range of heavy-duty applications

Can I reuse this fuse?

You can't reuse this fuse after it has blown. This is because it's a sacrificial or one-time-use device that breaks when a faulty current occurs.

What's the advantage of melamine body material?

Melamine has high arc resistance, which makes it an ideal choice for high-current fuses like this one.
