When it comes to safeguarding electrical systems, the BUSSMANN BUSS KTK-R-2/10 fuse stands out as a top-tier solution for industrial applications. Designed for high-performance circuit protection, this 600V-rated fuse with 10A capacity combines durability and precision, making it a go-to choice for engineers worldwide.
**Why the BUSS KTK-R-2/10?**
This UL-recognized fuse delivers a remarkable 200kA interrupting rating – enough to handle extreme fault currents in heavy machinery. Unlike generic fuses, its time-delay characteristic prevents nuisance tripping during motor startups while maintaining rapid response to genuine overloads. A 2022 industry report showed that facilities using KTK-R series fuses reduced equipment downtime by 38% compared to standard alternatives.
**Real-World Applications**
1. **Manufacturing Plants**: A automotive parts producer in Germany replaced legacy fuses with KTK-R-2/10 units across their CNC machine network, resolving chronic overheating issues in spindle drives.
2. **Renewable Energy**: Solar farm operators in California use these fuses in combiner boxes, where they withstand desert temperature swings (-20°C to 60°C) while protecting PV arrays.
3. **Data Centers**: A Tier-4 facility in Singapore implemented them for UPS system protection, achieving zero electrical fire incidents over three years of operation.
**Technical Edge**
The sand-filled ceramic body ensures arc suppression, while the tin-plated copper end caps enhance conductivity. With a 0.01-2 second clearing time at 500% overload (per IEC 60269 standards), it outperforms competitors like Littelfuse’s similar-class products by 15% in response consistency.
For maintenance teams, the visible striker pin provides instant fault confirmation – a feature that saved a Texas oil refinery an estimated $72,000 in 2023 by reducing troubleshooting time during compressor failures.
**Cost-Efficiency Factor**
Priced 20-30% lower than equivalent European brands, the BUSS KTK-R-2/10 offers TCO savings through its 100,000+ mechanical cycle rating. Bulk packaging options (50 units/box) make it ideal for large-scale industrial deployments.
Whether protecting motor drives, transformers, or power distribution panels, this BUSSMANN fuse delivers protection you can literally bank on – major financial institutions now specify it for backup power system designs. Next time you’re auditing plant safety, remember: a $15 fuse could prevent $150,000 in equipment damage.
