Bussmann TPL-CV Eaton Series TPL Telecommunication Fuse, 500A, 170 Vdc

The Bussmann TPL-CV is an Eaton Bussmann series TPL telecommunication fuse engineered for current-limiting overcurrent protection in DC telecom power systems. Rated 170 Vdc, 500A, with a 100 kAIC interrupting rating, this non-indicating fuse uses a bolted blade end x bolted blade end terminal configuration with silver-plated terminals for a dependable, low-resistance connection. It is built for professionals who need reliable, high-fault-current protection in demanding telecommunication power distribution applications, including central office and data center DC power plants where fast, current-limiting response to a fault condition helps safeguard connected rectifiers, batteries, and distribution equipment. As part of the recognized Eaton Bussmann series TPL family, the TPL-CV is intended for specifiers and electricians who require a fuse matched precisely to 170 Vdc, 500A telecommunication power protection duty.

Key Features

  • Current-Limiting Design: The TPL-CV is a current-limiting fuse that reduces peak let-through current and energy during a fault, helping protect downstream telecommunication power equipment.
  • Electrical Rating: Rated 170 Vdc, 500A, with a 100 kAIC interrupting rating for use in high-fault-current DC telecommunication power systems.
  • Bolted Blade Terminals: Bolted blade end x bolted blade end terminal configuration provides a secure, low-resistance mechanical and electrical connection.
  • Silver-Plated Terminals: Silver-plated terminal construction improves conductivity and helps resist corrosion at the connection points.
  • Non-Indicating: Non-indicating construction, designed for straightforward current-limiting overcurrent protection without a blown-fuse indicator.
  • Eaton Bussmann Series TPL: Part of the Eaton Bussmann series TPL telecommunication fuse family, purpose-built for telecom power protection duty.
  • DC Power Application: Designed specifically for 170 Vdc telecommunication power systems, where accurate current-limiting response supports coordinated overcurrent protection schemes.

Bussmann TPL-CV – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What fault current can the TPL-CV safely interrupt?
100 kAIC. That is what makes the TPL-CV usable close to large battery strings and rectifier outputs in a central office or data center DC plant, where available fault current is high. It is also current-limiting, so it cuts peak let-through current and energy during the fault rather than simply opening at the end of it, which is what protects downstream distribution gear.
2) How does the TPL-CV mount, and does it drop into a fuse clip holder?
No, it will not go into a clip-style holder. The TPL-CV is a bolted blade end by bolted blade end fuse, so both ends land on bus or lug pads and are torqued down with hardware. If your panel is built for clip-in or ferrule fuses, this is the wrong body style. The terminals are silver plated for lower contact resistance and corrosion resistance at the bolted joint.
3) Does the TPL-CV have a blown fuse indicator?
It does not. The TPL-CV is a non-indicating fuse, so there is no mechanical pop-up or visual flag to tell you it has opened. In a monitored DC plant you would rely on panel alarms, a voltage check across the fuse, or the distribution bay's own fault monitoring instead. If your maintenance procedure depends on walking the bay and reading indicators, specify an indicating fuse.
4) Is the TPL-CV the right fuse for protecting rectifiers and battery feeds in a DC power plant?
That is exactly the duty it is built for. The series TPL line is a telecommunication fuse family, and the TPL-CV is specified for 170 Vdc, 500A telecom power distribution: central office and data center DC power plants, battery backup and rectifier circuits, and current-limiting overcurrent protection on the distribution side. For AC service or branch circuit protection you want a different Bussmann family entirely.
5) What exact part number do I order for the 500A version of the Bussmann TPL series fuse?
TPL-CV is the manufacturer part number for the 500A, 170 Vdc rating in the Eaton Bussmann series TPL. Each amp rating in the family has its own suffix, so the suffix is the amp rating: ordering a different suffix gets you a different ampere value, not a different finish or terminal style.
6) Does any mounting hardware come with the TPL-CV fuse?
The TPL-CV ships as the fuse itself. Bolted blade terminations mean you provide the bolts, washers and any bus adapters or fuse block the bay requires, and you torque the joint to the distribution equipment manufacturer's figure. Plan the hardware with the panel, not with the fuse.
