Bussmann series Fusetron FRN-R RK5 fuse data sheet for up to 60 amps No. 1019
Time-delay, dual-element design provides selective protection by allowing brief inrush while interrupting sustained faults. Business impact: reduces nuisance trips during motor start and peak loads, improving line uptime. Application: control panels, conveyors, and machine power rails. The 5.60 A amperage rating and 250 Vac / 125 Vdc voltage rating ensure proper coordination with low-to-medium current circuits, preventing overcurrent without oversizing fuses. This supports energy efficiency and safer enclosure design. The fuse offers a high interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 250 Vac and 20 kAIC at 125 Vdc, enabling reliable fault current handling in high-energy environments and reducing arc-flash risk in equipment. It is suitable for industrial machines, presses, and automation cabinets. The Class RK5 construction with ferrule-end connections provides robust, plug-and-play installation in standard RK5 fuse holders, streamlining maintenance and replacements. Non-indicating operation minimizes mounting distractions, while compatibility with Bussmann series accessories enables scalable protection across equipment fleets. Overall, these features translate to lower maintenance costs, easier spec compliance, and improved equipment uptime for plant-wide protection programs.

FAQs
Install the FRN-R-5-6/10 by aligning the ferrule-end connections with the standard RK5 fuse holder slots. Ensure the panel enclosure matches the Class RK5 form factor and that the contact surfaces are clean. The dual-element, time-delay design should be oriented to limit mechanical stress during mating, and the non-indicating fuse helps simplify visual inspection without requiring a status indicator.
The fuse is rated for 5.60 A with a voltage rating of 250 Vac and 125 Vdc. It provides an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 250 Vac and 20 kAIC at 125 Vdc, with a time-delay response of roughly 8 seconds at 500% overload. These specs support reliable protection for low-to-medium current control circuits and motors in industrial environments.
Yes. Its time-delay, dual-element design handles motor inrush while still offering fast interruption for fault conditions. With a 5.60 A rating and RK5 compatibility, it is well-suited for motor starters, drive circuits, and other automation components housed in control panels, reducing nuisance trips and improving uptime.
The FRN-R-5-6/10 is CE Marked, indicating compliance with European safety standards. RoHS compliance can be verified via Eaton’s RoHS search tool, helping buyers document regulatory alignment across international projects. The fuse is part of the Class RK5 Bussmann series, a widely accepted protection solution in industrial environments.
