Bussmann KTN-R-15 Class RK1 Fast-Acting Fuse, 15A, 250V

The Bussmann KTN-R-15 is a Class RK1 LIMITRON fast-acting fuse manufactured by Eaton Bussmann, engineered to deliver dependable overcurrent protection in panelboard applications. This fuse is rated 15A at 250V, providing fast-acting response for branch circuit and equipment protection where Class RK1 current-limiting performance is required. The KTN-R-15 features ferrule end x ferrule end terminals, allowing for straightforward installation and secure connections within compatible panelboard fuse holders and disconnect switches. Construction includes a melamine glass tube body paired with 70/30 brass end caps, combining mechanical strength with reliable electrical contact. As a non-indicating fuse, the KTN-R-15 does not include a blown-fuse indicator, keeping the design straightforward and cost-effective for standard panelboard circuit protection.

Key Features

  • Amperage Rating: 15A for panelboard branch circuit protection.

Bussmann KTN-R-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Bussmann KTN-R-15 fuse work in a 480V circuit?
No. The KTN-R-15 is rated 250V, so it belongs in circuits at 250 volts or below. For a 480V or 600V panel you need the 600V Class RK1 equivalent, the Bussmann KTS-R series, in the same amperage.
2) Can I use a KTN-R-15 in a fuse block made for Class RK5 or Class H fuses?
Yes, physically. Class R fuses (RK1 and RK5) share the rejection-ferrule dimensions of Class H fuses of the same amp and voltage rating, so a 15A 250V Class R fuse drops into a standard 250V Class H clip or a Class R rejection block. The reverse is not true: a Class H fuse will not fit a Class R rejection clip. The KTN-R-15 uses ferrule end x ferrule end terminals.
3) What is the difference between the fast-acting KTN-R and a time-delay Class RK1 fuse?
The KTN-R series is a fast-acting LIMITRON design, so it clears overcurrents quickly with no intentional delay. That suits non-motor loads: feeders, panelboard branch circuits, lighting, and resistive equipment. If the circuit feeds a motor or a transformer, the inrush will blow a fast-acting fuse on startup, and you want a time-delay Class RK1 instead, such as Bussmann LPN-RK at 250V.
4) Does the Bussmann KTN-R-15 have a blown fuse indicator?
No. It is a non-indicating fuse, so there is no visual flag or pin to tell you it has opened. You check it with a meter or continuity tester. If maintenance staff need at-a-glance diagnosis, specify an indicating version instead.
5) Is the KTN-R-15 current-limiting?
Yes. Class RK1 is a current-limiting fuse class, which is why it is specified where equipment needs a lower let-through energy than a non-current-limiting Class H fuse provides. The KTN-R-15 covers that at 15A, 250V.
6) Can I put a 15A KTN-R in place of a 20A or 30A fuse to stop nuisance blowing?
Never go the other direction. A fuse is sized to the conductor and the equipment it protects, so replacing a 15A KTN-R with a larger amperage removes that protection even though the fuse physically fits the same 250V Class R clip. Replace like for like at 15A, and if the fuse keeps opening, the load or the circuit needs investigating.
7) What is the KTN-R-15 fuse body made of, and does it hold up in an industrial panel?
The body is a melamine glass tube with 70/30 brass end caps. Melamine gives the mechanical strength for repeated insertion and removal in panelboard clips, and the brass caps keep contact resistance low at the fuse clips.
