Overview

The Mersen OTS6 (SKU: OTS6) is a Class K5, fast-acting ferrule fuse engineered for general purpose protection of feeder and branch circuits. It is rated for 6 Amperes, with a robust operating voltage of 600VAC and 300VDC. The fuse boasts an interrupting rating of 50kA at AC and 20kA at DC, ensuring reliable protection against overcurrents. This cost-effective solution is ideal for non-motor loads such as lighting and heating circuits. The OTS series fuses are UL Listed to Standard 248-9 (File E2137) and CSA Certified to Standard C22.2 No. 248.9. It's important to note that these are not rejection-type fuses, so replacement fuses must have an interrupting rating equal to or greater than the original. The OTS6 features an easily readable imprint label for quick identification and replacement. Its versatile design supports applications including feeders, branch circuits, and resistive heating. For optimal performance and safety, always consult manufacturer specifications and ensure proper fuse selection for your specific circuit requirements. Distributed by Gross Automation.
