Bussmann NO.216-R Fuse Reducer 30/60-Amp 250/600V

The Bussmann NO.216-R Fuse Reducer is engineered to adapt a larger fuseholder for use with a smaller fuse, reducing a 100A fuse clip down to accept a 60A fuse without requiring a full fuseholder replacement. This reducer carries a dual electrical rating of 30/60-Amp at 250/600 Volt, matching the dual-rating convention used across this style of Bussmann fuse reducer. It is designed for use in panelboards, switchboards, and fused disconnect equipment where downsized overcurrent protection is required in the field. Electricians and maintenance crews rely on fuse reducers like the NO.216-R to correctly match fuse size to load requirements while preserving the integrity of the existing fuseholder assembly.

Key Features

  • Fuse Clip Reduction: Reduces a 100A fuseholder to accept a 60A fuse, allowing installation of a smaller fuse in an existing larger fuseholder without hardware replacement.
  • Dual Amp Rating: Rated 30/60-Amp, providing the dual current rating used across this Bussmann fuse reducer model.
  • Dual Voltage Rating: Rated 250/600 Volt, supporting use across common low-voltage and medium-voltage distribution classes.
  • Model NO.216-R: Identified by Bussmann's NO.216-R designation, engineered for compatibility with matching fuseholder clips.
  • Simplified Field Retrofit: Enables technicians to downsize fuse protection quickly without disassembling or replacing the entire fuseholder or fuse block assembly.
  • Reliable Fit: Designed to seat securely within compatible fuseholder clips, helping maintain proper contact and overcurrent protection performance.

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Panelboard and Switchboard Fuse Protection
  • Fused Disconnect Switch Assemblies
  • Motor Control Center Overcurrent Protection

Bussmann NO.216-R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Bussmann NO.216-R fuse reducer actually do?
The NO.216-R adapts an oversized fuseholder to take a smaller fuse. Specifically it reduces a 100A fuse clip so it will accept a 60A fuse, so you can downsize overcurrent protection without pulling out and replacing the fuseholder or fuse block. Rated 30/60A at 250/600V.
2) Can I use the NO.216-R reducer on a 600 volt fused disconnect?
Yes. The reducer carries a 250/600V dual voltage rating, so it is suitable in both 250V and 600V class fused equipment, including fused disconnect switches, panelboards and switchboards.
3) Do I need to buy fuse reducers in pairs?
Reducers work per fuse clip, so a single-pole position needs one at each end of the fuse (line and load clip), and a three-pole disconnect needs a set for all three poles. The NO.216-R is sold as the individual reducer under part number NO.216-R, so count the clips in your equipment and order accordingly.
4) Is the NO.216-R the right reducer if my fuseholder is rated 200A?
No. The NO.216-R is the 100A-to-60A step. A 200A or larger fuseholder needs the reducer sized for that clip, so match the reducer to both the existing holder rating and the fuse you intend to install.
5) Why is the Bussmann NO.216-R marked 30/60 amp when it reduces a 100A holder to 60A?
The 30/60A marking is the dual current rating Bussmann uses on this style of reducer, paired with the 250/600V dual voltage rating. The function is the clip reduction itself: a 100A fuseholder down to a 60A fuse. The dual figures describe the rating convention, not two different reductions.
6) Will a fuse reducer let me put a smaller fuse in an existing switch without changing the hardware?
That is exactly the use case. The NO.216-R seats in the existing clips so the fuseholder or fuse block stays in place, which is why maintenance crews use reducers on retrofits and motor control center work rather than replacing the assembly to match a downsized load.
7) What part number do I order for the Bussmann 100A to 60A fuse reducer?
Order Bussmann NO.216-R. There is one model on the series, so the only thing to confirm is that your existing clips are 100A and the fuse going in is 60A at 250V or 600V.
