Bussmann 170L8388 Eaton Series Class aR Square Body Fuse, 400A
The Bussmann 170L8388 is an Eaton Bussmann series high-speed square body fuse built for semiconductor protection in demanding power electronics applications. Rated 700V (UL) / 690V (IEC) with a 400A amperage rating, this Class aR fuse is designed for accompanied semiconductor protection, meaning it is intended to work alongside another protective device rather than as standalone branch-circuit protection. A top fuse status indicator provides quick visual confirmation of fuse condition, helping maintenance teams identify a blown fuse without removing it from service.
Key Features
