Bussmann 170M2671 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Bussmann 170M2671 fit a standard DIN 43 620 fuse base or holder?
Yes. The 170M2671 is built to DIN 43 620 mounting dimensions, with a square body and slotted offset bolted tags, blade end by blade end. Body size is 67 mm high, 100 mm long and 30 mm wide, and it weighs about 236 g. The slotted tags bolt to the busbar or base pads rather than clipping in, so you need bolted terminations on the mounting, not fuse clips.
2) Can a Class aR fuse like the Bussmann 170M2671 be used as the only overcurrent protection on a drive circuit?
No. Utilization category aR means accompanied semiconductor protection: it protects against short circuits only and has to be paired with a separate device handling overload protection, typically a breaker, contactor or drive electronic overload. If you want a fuse that covers both overload and short circuit on its own, you need a gR or gS type instead.
3) Is 400A at 690V enough for my 480V drive input, and what fault current can this fuse clear?
The 170M2671 is rated 400 A at 690 V AC, so a 480 V AC circuit is well inside its voltage rating. Interrupting rating is 200 kAIC, which covers the available fault current on most industrial services. Voltage type is AC only, so do not apply it on a DC bus based on this rating.
4) What I2t numbers do I use to check the 170M2671 protects my SCRs and diodes?
Pre-arc I2t is 18,000 and total clearing I2t is 125,000 at 660 V. Compare the clearing figure against the semiconductor's published I2t withstand at the same conditions; the device rating has to exceed 125,000 for the fuse to protect it. The pre-arc value is what you use for selectivity between this fuse and any upstream fuse.
5) Is the Bussmann 170M2671 UL Listed for use as branch circuit protection?
It is UL Recognized and CE Marked, not UL Listed. Recognized components are evaluated for use inside a listed piece of equipment, which is how high speed semiconductor fuses are normally applied. For branch circuit protection required by code, you still need a UL Listed branch circuit device ahead of it.
6) How much heat does a 400A high speed square body fuse put into an enclosure?
Watt loss is 70 W at rating for the 170M2671. Budget that per fuse when you size enclosure ventilation, so a three phase set adds roughly 210 W of heat inside the cabinet. Derating applies if airflow around the fuse body is restricted.
7) Does the Bussmann 170M2671 have a blown fuse indicator or a microswitch?
The indicator type on the 170M2671 is listed as Other, so do not assume the standard striker pin plus microswitch arrangement. If your panel relies on a microswitch contact to signal a blown fuse to the controller, confirm the indicator style before you commit to this exact part number.
8) Does this Bussmann square body fuse come with insulated gripping lugs for live changeout?
No. The 170M2671 is supplied without insulated metal gripping lugs, so handling it is a de-energized job with standard tools. If your maintenance procedure calls for IMGL style handling, specify a version that carries that option.
9) How is the 170M2671 packaged, and can I standardize a spares stock on it?
Packaging is standard, single fuse, ordered by the 170M2671 part number. Because it is a fixed 400 A, 690 V aR device with no finish or option axes to pick, every unit you stock is identical, which makes it straightforward to hold as a shelf spare across several drive panels using the same rating.
