Bussmann 170M6509 Class aR High Speed Fuse, 550A 700V
The Bussmann 170M6509 is a Class aR high speed fuse built for demanding DC power protection, rated 550A (550A RMS) at 700 Vac (UL) / 690 Vac (IEC) with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. Its square body, flush-mount design is engineered for DC common bus systems, DC drives, and power converter/rectifier circuits where fast semiconductor-grade clearing is required. The fuse is CE Marked, RoHS Compliant, IEC Rated, and UL Recognized, giving specifiers a documented compliance path for industrial DC installations. With defined pre-arc and clearing I2t values, it supports accurate coordination in high-energy DC protection schemes.
