Bussmann 170M3709 Class aR High-Speed Fuse, 50A, 200 kAIC
The Bussmann 170M3709 is a Class aR high-speed square body fuse engineered for demanding DC power protection applications. Rated 50A RMS with a blade end x blade end connection, this fuse delivers a 200 kAIC interrupt rating for reliable short-circuit protection in DC common bus systems, DC drives, and power converters/rectifiers. Its Class aR high-speed design provides fast clearing performance while withstanding the normal inrush and overload currents typical of power electronics circuits.
Key Features
- Amperage Rating: 50A RMS for DC common bus, DC drives, and power converter/rectifier circuits.
- Connection: Blade end x blade end terminals for compatible fuse block/holder mounting.
- Interrupt Rating: 200 kAIC interrupt rating supports high fault-current environments.
- Class aR High-Speed Design: Fast-clearing construction protects semiconductor devices from short-circuit damage while allowing normal overload currents.
- Fuse Indicator: Non indicating design.
