FAQs

The FRS-R-1-6/10 uses ferrule ends and is a Class RK5 fuse designed for standard low-voltage branch circuits in control panels. Its 5 inch length and 0.81 inch width/height enable straightforward mounting in RK5-compatible holders and Bussmann-series cabinets, reducing install time and ensuring secure, vibration-resistant connections.
It is rated for 1.6 A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac and 300 Vdc. The interrupt ratings are 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc. The fuse provides time-delay protection with a 10 second response time at 500% overload, suitable for inductive loads and motor circuits.
Yes. With a high interrupt rating and current-limiting design, the FRS-R-1-6/10 protects feeders and downstream equipment from short circuits. Its dual-element construction reduces arc energy and provides reliable clearing, helping protect wiring, contactors, and transformers in industrial panels.
The fuse is CE Marked, indicating compliance with essential European safety standards. It is part of the RK5 family, ensuring compatibility with commonly used Bussmann RK5 protective devices in industrial systems while meeting strict European electrical protection requirements.
Because the FRS-R-1-6/10 is non-indicating, use external fuse status monitoring or panel indicators to track fuse health. Pairing with an external current-sensing circuit or a panel-m-mounted indicator relay provides real-time visibility while preserving the fuseā€™s simple, reliable protection function.
