Bussmann F60C500V20A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a 500 V fuse like the F60C500V20A on a 120 V or 240 V circuit?
Yes. The 500 V rating on the F60C500V20A is a maximum, so it can be applied at any system voltage at or below 500 V. What you cannot do is go the other way and use it above 500 V. Current rating is 20 A and that one has to match the circuit, not just stay under it.
2) Is the 100 kAIC interrupting rating on this Bussmann F60 fuse high enough for a high fault-current panel?
The F60C500V20A interrupts 100,000 A at AC and 50 kAIC on DC, which covers most instrument, power and telephone feeder positions without needing a series-rated upstream device. Check the available fault current at the point of installation against those two numbers, since the DC figure is the lower of the pair.
3) Does this fuse have a blown-fuse indicator?
No. The F60C500V20A is non-indicating, so there is no pop-up pin or visual flag to tell you it has opened. In a telecom or instrument rack where you want at-a-glance fault location, you either meter across the holder or specify an indicating fuse and an alarm-type holder instead.
4) What is the F60C500V20A actually used for?
It is a military qualified fuse from Eaton's Bussmann F60 series, applied to instruments, power and telephone circuits at 20 A and up to 500 V. Typical spots are central office and telecom power distribution, instrumentation feeds, and defense equipment where a qualified part is called out on the drawing rather than a general-purpose midget fuse.
5) How do I make sure I get the exact same Bussmann fuse I pulled out?
Order by the part number F60C500V20A. Within the F60 series the amp rating, voltage, indicator style and end connection all change the suffix, so a fuse that looks identical on the bench can be a different rating. This one is the 20 A, 500 V, non-indicating, ferrule-to-ferrule build, supplied in standard packaging.
