Bussmann RS Series British Standard Non-Indicating Fuse Carrier, 690V
The Bussmann RS Series British Standard Non-Indicating Fuse Carrier is a low voltage fuse accessory built for British Standard fuse installations rated at 690V. Produced under the Eaton Bussmann line, this single-pole carrier — sometimes referenced by its "Red Spot" style designation — is offered across the RS Series in amp ratings from 20A to 400A, letting electricians match the correct carrier size to the fuse link required for a given circuit. As a non-indicating carrier, it is intended for applications where a blown-fuse indicator is not required, providing a dependable, straightforward mounting point for BS88-style fuse links within low voltage distribution equipment. Because the RS Series spans a full range of amp sizes on a single common design, it is a practical choice for maintenance electricians and panel builders who need to standardize on one carrier style across multiple circuit ratings rather than sourcing a different accessory for every amperage.
Key Features
- Amp Rating Range: The RS Series is available in 20A, 32A, 63A, 100A, 200A, and 400A ratings, allowing selection of the correct carrier size for the fuse link in use.
- Voltage Rating: Rated 690V, suited to low voltage electrical distribution applications.
- Carrier Type: Non-Indicating "Red Spot" style carrier engineered for British Standard fuse systems.
- Pole Configuration: Single-pole design simplifies installation within fuse holder assemblies.
- Fuse Accessory: Functions as a fuse holder/carrier accessory that pairs with a BS88-style fuse link, not a stand-alone fuse.
