Bussmann FRS-R Fusetron Class RK5 Dual-Element Time-Delay Fuse

Bussmann FRS-R-17-1/2 Fusetron Dual-Element Time-Delay Fuse, Class RK5

The Bussmann FRS-R-17-1/2 Fusetron dual-element time-delay fuse is engineered for reliable overcurrent protection in demanding industrial power systems. Rated 17-1/2A with a dual voltage rating of 600 Vac and 300 Vdc, this Class RK5 fuse features a ferrule end x ferrule end connection for straightforward installation in standard fuse holders and switches. With a high interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc, it delivers current-limiting performance to protect combination starters, motor control centers, machinery disconnects, and power panelboards from damaging fault currents.

Key Features

• Amperage Rating: Rated 17-1/2A for precise circuit-level overcurrent protection in motor and equipment circuits.
• Dual-Element Time-Delay Design: Dual elements deliver a 10s at 500% response time, riding through normal motor starting inrush while still tripping fast on true overloads.
• Class RK5 Construction: Class RK5 current-limiting, time-delay design suited for combination starters and motor control equipment.
• Connection Type: Ferrule end x ferrule end connection for compatible mounting in standard fuse blocks and disconnects.
• Voltage Rating: Dual-rated 600 Vac and 300 Vdc for flexibility across AC and DC circuit applications.
• Interrupt Rating: High 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc interrupt rating for safe operation under high fault-current conditions.
• Fuse Indicator: Non-indicating design keeps the fuse body compact and free of blown-fuse indication hardware.
• Compact Sizing: Compact .81 IN diameter x 5 IN length body at just .15 LB for space-conscious panel and enclosure layouts.
