Eaton BK/SC-50 Fuse - Class G Rejection Style

Part Number: BK/SC-50
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
BK/SC-50

Quick Summary

Eaton Bussmann series SC fuse protects electrical circuits in industrial control panels and machines. When downtime and nuisance trips threaten productivity, reliable current-limiting protection is essential. While the data sheet highlights RoHS compliance and high interrupt ratings, it does not list SIL, CE, or IP certifications. This fuse’s Class G rating, ferrule end connections, and bulk packaging simplify panel design, stocking, and field replacement. Leveraging these features helps OEMs and maintenance teams minimize spare parts, reduce mean time to repair, and maintain consistent safety standards across installations.

Special features
Rejection style
Current-limiting time-delay design is engineered to absorb inrush forces and suppress fault currents, reducing arc energy and protecting downstream devices. The business impact is lower downtime and longer service life for motors and drives, especially during startup surges. In practice, engineers use BK/SC-50 in panel power rails and motor control circuits to maintain stable operation in manufacturing lines. Rejection style construction and ferrule end x ferrule end connections simplify safe, fast replacement and ensure reliable seating in standard terminal blocks. The business impact is faster maintenance and fewer wiring errors, translating to reduced labor costs and improved device uptime. This makes BK/SC-50 a strong match for bulk purchasing by OEMs and panel shops. With 100 kAIC at 480 Vac and 10 kAIC at 300 Vdc, the fuse delivers high fault current protection for critical feeders and DC links. The business impact is safer shutdown sequences and resilient power distribution in demanding environments. Applications include machine room power feeds and control panels where dependable interrupt performance is required. Bulk packaging and a non-indicating, Class G designation support streamlined procurement and clear field diagnostics when paired with separate status monitoring. The business impact is lower inventory carrying costs and easier procurement for large facilities. In practice, specifiers favor this fuse for standardized panel design and scalable deployments. RoHS compliant status supports regulatory alignment in many regions, helping you meet environmental requirements without redesigns.

FAQs

BK/SC-50 uses ferrule end x ferrule end terminations, compatible with standard bussing and terminal blocks in electrical protection panels. It fits in bulk-pack panel assemblies and benefits from straightforward insertion, reliable seating, and consistent contact integrity for safe operation in motor controls and power distribution layouts.
The current-limiting design reduces peak fault current and limits arc energy during short circuits, while its time-delay characteristic permits controlled inrush during startup. This combination minimizes nuisance trips in motors and drives, protecting downstream equipment and enabling smoother commissioning of control circuits in manufacturing environments.
Yes. The 50 A Class G fuse with bulk packaging and ferrule end connections is well-suited for motor control centers and panel shops that require consistent, scalable protection across assemblies. Its bulk notes simplify stocking and reorder processes, reducing lead times in large facilities.
The data indicates RoHS compliance, which supports environmental and regulatory requirements. Specific SIL, CE, or IP ratings are not listed in the provided data. For projects needing explicit certifications, verify with the supplier or Eaton catalogs to confirm current certification status for your region.
As a non-indicating fuse with a rejection style design, BK/SC-50 relies on separate indicators or upstream protection logic to monitor status. Routine preventive maintenance should include inspection of fuse racks, replacement on noticeable fault events, and alignment with RoHS-compliant procurement to maintain compliance and reliability in ongoing operations.
