Bussmann 170M3766 High-Speed Square Body Fuse, Class aR, 250A/690V
The Bussmann 170M3766 is an Eaton Bussmann series high speed square body fuse engineered for semiconductor protection in demanding power electronics applications. Rated 700V (UL) / 690V (IEC) at 250A with a 200kAIC interrupt rating, this Class aR fuse is built with a blade end X blade end square body configuration for accompanied semiconductor protection duty. Backed by IEC ratings and CE marking, it delivers the fast-clearing performance required to safeguard sensitive power semiconductors from short-circuit fault currents.
Key Features
- Amperage Rating: 250A for high-current semiconductor circuit protection.
- Voltage Rating: 700V (UL) / 690V (IEC) for use across UL and IEC-rated systems.
- Interrupt Rating: 200 kAIC high speed fuse for reliable clearing of high fault currents.
- Utilization Category: Class aR (accompanied semiconductor protection) rather than full-range protection.
- Fuse Shape: Square body, center bolted tags with blade end X blade end termination.
