Bussmann 170M3162 High Speed Square Body Fuse, Class aR, 100A
The Bussmann 170M3162 is an Eaton Bussmann series high speed square body fuse rated 700V (UL) / 690V (IEC) AC at 100A with a 200 kAIC interrupting rating, purpose-built for semiconductor protection. It features a Class aR utilization category (accompanied semiconductor protection), blade end x blade end terminations per DIN 43 620, and a top-mounted fuse status indicator for fast visual verification. This high speed fuse is engineered to coordinate tightly with semiconductor let-through ratings in demanding industrial power electronics.
Key Features
- Amperage Rating: 100A for reliable, precisely coordinated overcurrent protection in semiconductor circuits.
- Voltage Rating: 700V (UL), 690V (IEC) AC rated for demanding industrial power systems.
- Interrupt Rating: 200 kAIC high interrupting capacity supports use in high fault-current applications.
- Fuse Shape: Square body construction with slotted center bolted tags and blade end x blade end connections built to DIN 43 620.
- Fuse Status Indicator: Top-mounted indicator provides quick visual confirmation of fuse condition.
- Utilization Category: Class aR (accompanied semiconductor protection) designed specifically to protect semiconductor devices rather than provide standalone circuit protection.
- Clearing Characteristics: Pre-arc I²t of 360 and clearing I²t of 2450 at 660V for precise let-through coordination.
- Clearing Loss: Rated clearing loss of 21 for predictable power dissipation under fault conditions.
