Bussmann 170M2818 Eaton Series Class aR Square Body Fuse, 250A, 200 kAIC
The Bussmann 170M2818 is an Eaton Bussmann series high-speed square body fuse engineered for accompanied semiconductor protection under Utilization Category aR. It carries a 1250V (IEC) / 1300V (UL) rating alongside a 690V AC voltage rating, a 250A ampere rating, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, making it suited to demanding power electronics and industrial drive protection duty. Its square body design with slotted, offset bolted tags is built for secure, high-current terminal connections in semiconductor protection assemblies.
Key Features
- Amperage Rating: 250A high-speed fuse element sized for demanding semiconductor circuit protection.
- Voltage Rating: Rated 1250V (IEC) and 1300V (UL), with a 690V AC voltage rating for broad system compatibility.
- Interrupt Rating: 200 kAIC interrupt capacity delivers robust short-circuit protection in high-fault-current environments.
