Mersen TRS-RDC Tri-Onic Series 300V RK5 Time-Delay Fuse
The Mersen TRS-RDC Tri-Onic Series is a 300V DC-rated, time-delay Class RK5 fuse family engineered for DC circuit protection in surface and underground mining applications. This family is available across a Motor FLA range from 0.15A to 10A, letting electrical professionals select the exact current rating needed for rail heaters, trailing cables, pump motors, and other mine-duty DC circuits. Every fuse in the TRS-RDC line shares a rugged glass melamine (GMG) body, tin-plated copper ferrule terminals, and MSHA approval, giving installers a consistent, code-compliant platform across the entire amperage lineup. The time-delay characteristic common to the whole series allows motor start-ups and high inrush loads to pass without nuisance opening, making it a dependable choice for the harshest mine-duty applications.
Key Features
