Bussmann 170M3572 High-Speed Square Body Fuse, Class aR, 550A, 700V
The Bussmann 170M3572 is an Eaton Bussmann series high-speed square body fuse engineered for demanding power electronics protection. Rated 700V (UL) and 690V (IEC) with a 550A amperage rating and a 200 kAIC interrupting capacity, this Class aR fuse uses a flush-style body for compact mounting in DC common bus, DC drive, and power converter/rectifier applications. Its high-speed square body design delivers fast, coordinated semiconductor protection where standard fuses cannot keep pace with fault currents.
Key Features
- Amperage Rating: 550A for high-current DC bus and drive circuits.
- Voltage Rating: 700V (UL) / 690V (IEC) for use across UL and IEC-rated systems.
- Interrupting Rating: 200 kAIC for reliable fault clearing in high fault-current applications.
- High-Speed Square Body, Flush Style: Class aR construction built for accompanied semiconductor protection.
- Utilization Category aR: Designed for accompanied semiconductor protection rather than full-range branch circuit duty.
- Voltage Type: AC/DC rated for flexible application across AC and DC circuits.
- Let-Through Energy: Pre-arc I2t of 34,000 and clearing I2t of 230,000 at 660V for coordinated semiconductor protection.
