KTU-1600 - 1600Amp Fuse

KTU-1600 - 1600Amp Fuse

When you're matching a 1600A fuse, the catalog number is only the beginning. The Eaton Bussmann KTU-1600 is a Class L fuse rated at 1600A and 600V, with a manufacturer-listed interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac. It uses a bolted blade end x bolted blade end connection and a bolt-mounting method, two practical details to check when comparing it with an existing fuse or equipment documentation. Instead of relying on amperage alone, compare the complete electrical and physical specifications to make a more informed replacement decision.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1600A amperage rating — Clearly identifies the current rating for comparison with equipment and maintenance specifications.
• 600V voltage rating — Gives electricians and maintenance personnel another essential electrical checkpoint before installation.
• Class L fuse — Clearly establishes the fuse classification for accurate product identification and replacement research.
• Bolted blade end x bolted blade end connection — Supplies a specific connection configuration that can be compared directly with the existing installation.
• Bolt mounting method — Adds another physical installation detail to verify rather than relying solely on the KTU-1600 catalog number.
• Knife blade special feature — Listed as a defining feature of the KTU-1600.
• Non-indicating — The fuse indicator configuration is listed as non-indicating.
• CE Marked and RoHS Compliant — Documented compliance information is readily available for projects where these requirements need to be checked.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The Eaton Bussmann KTU-1600 is RoHS Compliant and CE marked per the supplied manufacturer specifications. Its listed materials are silver-plated end bells and a melamine glass tube. Keeping these details alongside the electrical specifications makes it easier to compare the KTU-1600 with project documentation, maintenance records, or an existing component.

Where It Works Best

The KTU-1600 fuse should be checked against applications whose documentation specifies a 1600A, 600V Class L fuse and an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac. The electrical ratings aren't the only things worth checking. Its bolted blade-end x bolted blade-end connection, bolt-mounting method, knife-blade feature, and 10.75 x 3 x 3-inch dimensions are useful physical checkpoints when confirming a replacement.
