KTU-G-2500

Fuses are designed to protect electrical equipment from overcurrent, current leakage, overvoltage, short circuit, and other electrical faults. The KTU-G-2500 is a specialty fuse designed for a variety of industrial applications, including motor control circuits, equipment safety systems, and process control systems. The KTU-G-2500 is designed to provide excellent circuit protection, while also providing superior surge protection.

Overview

The KTU-G-2500 is an UL-listed and CSA-certified fuse that is ideally suited for installations where space is limited. Designed for use as either a branch circuit protection device or a supplementary protection device, the fuse offers current limiting or motor shutdown features for motor control circuits. The fuse is suitable for appliances, power supplies, and motor control circuit applications. It is also designed to be mounted in either a standard UL-approved panel or a specialty panel.

Features and Benefits

The KTU-G-2500 is a fast-acting fuse that is designed to trip quickly and accurately when a short circuit or overload occurs. Its current-limiting features limit the amount of current that can flow through the fuse, preventing excessive damage to equipments and other electrical components. In addition, the fuse has a high-surge capacity to protect against surges caused by equipment starting or similar events. The fuse also features a unique ceramic-filled body for excellent thermal properties and superior mechanical strength.

Applications

The KTU-G-2500 is designed for use in motor control circuits, equipment safety systems, and process control systems. The fuse can be used to protect against overcurrent, current leakage, and short circuits. It is also suitable for use in medical equipment, food processing equipment, and other specialized applications. Additionally, the fuse can be used to provide additional protection for appliances, power supplies, and other sensitive electrical components.

Working Principle

The KTU-G-2500 operates on a thermal-magnetic basis. When the current through the fuse exceeds the fuse\'s rated current, the heat generated by the current causes the fuse to melt. This interrupts the current flow and trips the fuse. If a short circuit or overload occurs, the fuse will trip quickly but will not trip on normal overloads, such as that caused by starting an induction motor, which may cause a momentary overcurrent.

Conclusion

The KTU-G-2500 is an UL-listed and CSA-certified fuse designed for use in motor control circuits, equipment safety systems, and process control systems. The fast-acting fuse offers current-limiting features and superior surge protection, along with a ceramic-filled body for excellent thermal properties and superior mechanical strength. The fuse is ideal for installations where space is limited and can provide protection against overcurrent, current leakage, overvoltage, and short circuit faults.
