Eaton BP/FRN-R-15 Fuse - RK5 Time-Delay, 20 kAIC
Part Number: BP/FRN-R-15
Quick Summary
Eaton Bussmann FRN-R fuse delivers time-delay protection for dual wiring in industrial control panels. Engineers often contend with nuisance trips during startup and surges that disrupt production. This device is CE marked and class RK5 compatible, with high interrupt ratings of 20 kAIC at AC and 200 kAIC at DC, ensuring selective coordination and robust fault response. The ferrule-end connections and non-indicating design simplify field replacement while reducing maintenance errors. For equipment protection, it integrates smoothly with control circuits and motor starters, helping minimize downtime and extend asset life while maintaining compliance across regional electrical standards.

FAQs
BP/FRN-R-15 is designed for RK5 class fuse holders and ferrule-end terminations, enabling straightforward field installs in standard Bussmann/Bussmann-style panels. When selecting a holder, verify RK5 sizing, ferrule dimensions, and terminal torque specs from the Eaton datasheet to ensure secure seating, proper contact, and stable fault performance over the fuse’s operating life.
The BP/FRN-R-15 is rated at 15 A with an interrupt capability of 20 kAIC at AC and 200 kAIC at DC. It delivers an 8-second response at 500% overload, offering time-delay protection that coordinates with controlled startup and fault events, while supporting safe dissipation of short-term surges in motor circuits and power feeders.
Yes, BP/FRN-R-15 provides dual-element protection with a high DC interrupt rating (200 kAIC Vdc), making it suitable for DC motor feeds and drive circuits where stable disruption resistance is critical. Ensure system coordination and proper DC fault path analysis align with your protection scheme and panel design standards.
BP/FRN-R-15 carries CE Marking, indicating compliance with relevant European safety and performance directives. The device is Class RK5 and adheres to Bussmann’s design standards for reliability in industrial environments. Certification matters for regulatory compliance, cross-border installation, and ensuring consistent performance across regional electrical systems.
Using BP/FRN-R-15 reduces downtime from nuisance tripping thanks to its time-delay profile, while its ferrule-end design simplifies field swaps and minimizes technician time. The durable RK5-compatible construction lowers spare-part diversity, helping procurement and maintenance teams achieve faster MTTR and improved asset lifespan in high-demand manufacturing environments.
