Bussmann 170M2617 High-Speed Square Body Fuse, Class aR, 200A
The Bussmann 170M2617 is an Eaton Bussmann series high-speed square body fuse rated 700V (UL) / 690V (IEC), 200A, with a 200 kAIC interrupting rating for demanding semiconductor protection duty. Built to the DIN 43 620 form factor with blade end X blade end terminals and a top fuse status indicator, this Class aR utilization-category fuse is designed to protect solid-state power components and drive circuits from destructive fault currents while remaining accompanied by upstream overcurrent protection.
Key Features
- Dual Voltage Rating: Rated 700V (UL) and 690V (IEC) for use across both North American and international power electronics platforms.
- 200A / 200 kAIC: Delivers a 200A continuous rating paired with a 200 kAIC interrupting capacity for high fault-current environments.
- Class aR, Accompanied Semiconductor Protection: Utilization category aR is intended to work alongside other protective devices safeguarding semiconductor components.
- Top Fuse Status Indicator: Built-in indicator provides a quick visual check of fuse condition without disconnecting the circuit.
- DIN 43 620 Blade End X Blade End Design: Square body construction with slotted, offset bolted tags for secure mounting in standard fuse holders.
- Clearing and Pre-Arc I2t: Clearing I2t of 23000 at 660V and pre-arc I2t of 3400 support precise coordination in semiconductor protection schemes.
- Compact Dimensions: Measures 233 mm in length/depth, 140 mm wide, and 66 mm high, weighing 218 g.
- Watt Losses: Rated at 35W for predictable thermal performance in enclosed switchgear and drive cabinets.
