Eaton Specification Sheet - FNQ-15/100
Amperage rating and interrupt rating: With an amperage rating of 0.15 A and an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 500 Vac, the FNQ-15/100 provides selective protection that clears faults quickly while keeping healthy circuits online. This improves safety margins and reduces arc energy during fault events, which translates to lower wear on downstream breakers and panels. In practice, this is ideal for motor control centers, pump packs, and conveyor drives where short, high-energy faults are common. Non-indicating design: The non-indicating fuse reduces panel diagnostics and avoids false status signaling in busy control panels. This simplifies replacement workflows in high-volume maintenance environments and supports clean wiring schemes in compact enclosures. Application: installations requiring straightforward interchangeability and reduced maintenance overhead. Voltage rating: Rated at 500 V, FNQ-15/100 is suitable for European and North American motor control circuits operating at higher line voltages. This broad voltage capability helps ensure compatibility across equipment ranging from 480 VAC systems to 500 VAC test benches. Application: motor starters and transformer-fed circuits. Durable construction: Nickel-plated bronze endcaps resist corrosion and wear in vibrating or thermally cycling environments. This improves contact reliability and reduces contact resistance drift over the life of the assembly. Application: panels in manufacturing floors and remote substations. CE compliance and form factor: CE Marked and packaged in standard form factors fit common fuse holders, enabling easy retrofits and scalable protection across controls networks. The 0.41 in by 0.41 in cross-section and 1.5 in height keep footprint small in densely populated panels. Application: retrofits and new builds in industrial automation. Industry compatibility: As part of the Eaton Bussmann series, FNQ fuses align with standard Bussmann line catalogs, ensuring availability of spares and consistent performance with other protection devices.
