Eaton FNQ-R-8 Fuse - Class CC, 200 kAIC RoHS CE
Part Number: FNQ-R-8
Quick Summary
The Eaton FNQ-R-8 fuse provides current-limiting protection for industrial control panels and small transformers. In practice, engineers face nuisance trips and protection mismatches when inrush currents spike; the FNQ-R-8 uses time-delay, dual-element action to smooth startup and improve selectivity. RoHS compliant and CE marked, it carries a 600 V rating and a 200 kAIC interrupt capability, aligning with safety and reliability expectations in demanding environments. With ferrule-end terminations and a compact 1.5 inch length, it simplifies panel wiring and supports scalable protection for line, transformer, and branch-circuit applications.

Bussmann series FNQ-R Class CC Fuse Data Sheet No. 1014
FNQ-R-8 is a Class CC current-limiting fuse designed for robust line protection in industrial-control panels and small transformers. It uses a high-inrush time-delay profile, allowing startup surges to pass without nuisance tripping while preserving fast fault clearance. This improves protection selectivity and uptime across mixed loads, aligning with common control-transformer applications. Rejection-style construction minimizes the risk of incorrect fuse replacement during maintenance, a frequent source of downtime in panels and machinery. Ferrule-end terminations simplify wiring and provide reliable, tool-friendly connections that stay secure in vibration-prone environments. Together, these features reduce installation errors and support long-term panel reliability. Technical specs reinforce protection performance: 8 A nominal rating, Class CC geometry, 600 V maximum, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. The current-limiting design confines fault energy, protects conductors, and helps downstream devices survive brief, high-current faults without damage or overheating. Physical footprint and materials support dense panel layouts: 1.5 in length, 0.41 in height and width, ferrule-end termination, and a melamine tube. The compact form factor enables easy integration into standard Bussmann-series assemblies and reduces overall panel size while maintaining reliability in industrial settings. RoHS compliant and CE marked, FNQ-R-8 also benefits from manufacturer data sheets and spec sheets for validation and BOM planning. This alignment with regulatory requirements simplifies procurement and ensures traceability for engineering change orders and compliance documentation. Overall, the FNQ-R-8 delivers a robust, scalable solution for line protection, branch circuits, and industrial control applications, delivering measurable reliability improvements and potential maintenance cost savings through reduced mis-wiring and fewer nuisance trips.

FAQs
FNQ-R-8 is a 600 V Class CC current-limiting fuse designed for line protection in industrial-control panels and small transformers. It accepts typical control loads, provides time-delay inrush tolerance, and delivers fast fault clearance to protect conductors and downstream devices in 600 V networks.
The FNQ-R-8 has a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling rapid fault interruption for high-current short circuits at up to 600 VAC. This protects upstream feeders and downstream equipment, reduces arcing energy, and supports safer, shorter fault durations in demanding environments.
FNQ-R-8 is suitable for line protection, small control transformers, industrial control panels, and branch circuits. Its 8 A rating, 600 V rating, and time-delay characteristics make it well-suited for equipment with startup surges while maintaining protection coordination with upstream devices.
FNQ-R-8 is RoHS compliant and CE marked, meeting modern regulatory and safety expectations. These certifications support compliance documentation, streamline procurement, and facilitate BOM planning for industrial protection and control projects.
The time-delay feature accommodates short startup surges without tripping, while the current-limiting design keeps fault energy in check. This preserves startup stability for motors and transformers and ensures quick fault clearing, reducing downtime and keeping processes aligned with production schedules.
