Bussmann 170M3012 High Speed Square Body Fuse, Class aR, 100A/690V
The Bussmann 170M3012 is an Eaton Bussmann series high speed square body fuse engineered for semiconductor protection applications. Rated 700V (UL) / 690V (IEC) at 100A with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, this Class aR fuse pairs a compact square body with blade end X blade end terminations for direct bolt-in mounting. A top-mounted fuse status indicator gives an at-a-glance visual check of fuse condition, and the body is built to DIN 43 620 dimensional standards for compatibility with industry-standard fuse holders and disconnects.
