Eaton BP/FRN-R-30 FRN-R fuse - CE Marked RK5
Part Number: BP/FRN-R-30
Quick Summary
The Eaton FRN-R fuse BP/FRN-R-30 provides time-delay current-limiting protection for industrial control panels. In demanding automation environments, nuisance trips and downtime can disrupt production; this fuse minimizes that risk through precise coordination and a reliable fast clearance. CE Marked compliance and RK5-class design underpin safe EU operation, while the high interrupt ratings support protection for mixed AC and DC circuits. Its ferrule-end connections and dual-element construction streamline installation and improve maintenance efficiency, reducing spare-part inventory. By pairing a compact 2 in length with rugged performance, it delivers consistent protection for motor drives, power distribution, and control circuits in modern manufacturing facilities.

FAQs
Installation uses ferrule-end terminations, which are crimped to standard control wiring harnesses or bus connections. The dual-element design supports quick replacement without rewiring, and the 2 inch length fits compact panels. Ensure correct amperage rating is selected for the protected circuit and verify the panel labeling matches the BP/FRN-R-30 part number to maintain traceability.
The FRN-R-30 combines a time-delay characteristic with current-limiting performance to tolerate startup surges while quickly interrupting faults. It has an interrupt rating of up to 200 kAIC at AC and 20 kAIC at DC, enabling protection in high-short-circuit environments common in industrial controls and power distribution panels.
This fuse is well-suited for industrial automation, motor drives, conveyors, packaging lines, and machine control cabinets. Its RK5 class, CE Marking, and ferrule-end connections make it compatible with European and global control panels requiring robust, space-efficient protection with reliable fault clearance.
BP/FRN-R-30 is CE Marked, indicating compliance with relevant EU safety and performance requirements. While it does not list SIL or IP ratings, the RK5 class and high interrupt ratings support compliance in most industrial environments. Always verify local installation standards and customer-specific approval processes for panel assemblies.
The dual-element, non-indicating design reduces false alarms and simplifies replacement cycles. Ferrule-end terminations enable faster field servicing, reducing downtime during maintenance. The compact blister packaging aids stocking, while the 8-second response at 500% overload provides predictable protection without frequent part swaps.
