Eaton Specification Sheet - BK/FWH5-015A6F
Feature: High-speed interruption with a 50 kAIC interrupt rating provides rapid fault clearance. This capability minimizes arc flash exposure, reduces consecutive damage to fuses, and protects downstream drives and transformers from surge energy. In practical terms, it preserves line power integrity and extends component life in demanding industrial environments. Application: motor drives, CNC machines, and critical control circuits in automation panels. Feature: 500 V voltage rating and 15 A amperage rating ensure the fuse is sized for common industrial protection schemes. Impact: predictable time-current performance enables engineers to coordinate upstream and downstream protective devices. Application: panel boards, power distribution blocks, and control cabinets in factories. Feature: Non-indicating fuse design reduces visual clutter and simplifies replacement. Impact: lower maintenance overhead and faster technician swaps, improving MTTR. Application: standard Bussmann-series assemblies in modular panels. Feature: CE Marked and CSA certified ensure compliance with regional safety and procurement standards. Impact: reduces audit risk and speeds up purchasing cycles. Application: any region requiring these certifications, including North America and Europe. Feature: Standard packaging and Bussmann-series compatibility support easy stocking and quick substitution. Impact: streamlined procurement and reduced inventory complexity, avoiding duplicate part numbers. Application: OEM line integration and service replacements.

FAQs
BK/FWH5-015A6F uses a standard Bussmann-series form factor with standard packaging, making it straightforward to substitute in panelboards and distribution blocks. Its non-indicating design simplifies visual inspection while still delivering precise protection. Ensure the host enclosure is rated for 500 V systems and that downstream devices are coordinated with a 15 A fuse to avoid nuisance trips during startup.
Key specs include 15 A amperage rating, 500 V voltage rating, and a 50 kAIC interrupt rating. These characteristics enable fast fault clearance in high-energy circuits, supporting upstream fuse and circuit breaker coordination. Use in drive circuits, power supplies, and control panels where strict protection timing and reliability are required.
Yes. The 50 kAIC interrupt rating and high-speed response are well-suited for motor drives and related power electronics in automation environments. When selecting, ensure downstream protection is coordinated with upstream devices and that the 15 A rating aligns with the drive’s input current profile to minimize nuisance trips while maintaining safety.
This fuse carries CE Marked and CSA Certified certifications, addressing European and North American safety and compliance requirements. These marks help streamline procurement, audits, and regulatory adherence for industrial facilities adopting Eaton Bussmann protection solutions.
The non-indicating design and standard Bussmann-series compatibility minimize inventory complexity and replacement time, reducing MTTR during faults. The high-speed protection lowers energy loss and downstream damage, contributing to improved uptime and lower maintenance costs over the life of the protection scheme.
