Eaton FRS-R-15 Fuse - Class RK5, 200 kAIC @ 600 Vac
Part Number: FRS-R-15
Quick Summary
FRS-R-15 fuse provides time-delay, current-limiting protection for motor, power, and control circuits in industrial equipment. Plants often struggle with nuisance trips and compatibility gaps with legacy protection, causing unscheduled downtime; this dual-element design mitigates surge events and improves selective coordination. It is CE marked, supporting EU safety compliance, and Eaton provides RoHS verification through its online tool for material compliance. As part of the Bussmann Series, the FRS-R-15 mounts quickly with ferrule-end connections and fits standard RK5 configurations, delivering reliable protection with minimal maintenance for production lines and control panels. It is also designed for production lines and equipment control panels.

FAQs
The FRS-R-15 uses ferrule-end connections and measures 5 in in length with 0.81 in square cross-section. To install, de-energize the panel, verify compatible RK5 mounting space, insert the ferrules into the terminal blocks, and secure with standard torque. Verify correct amperage rating (15 A) and ensure the circuit matches the protected load. This design supports quick replacement and reduces panel downtime.
The FRS-R-15 is a 15 A time-delay, dual-element current-limiting fuse rated for 600 Vac and 300 Vdc. It provides an interrupt rating of up to 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc, with a response time of 10 seconds at 500% overload, making it suitable for short-term surge events while protecting circuits.
Yes. The dual-element, time-delay design accommodates motor startup surges and transient currents, protecting motor circuits, drives, and control panels. Its Class RK5 compatibility and ferrule-end connections streamline replacement in existing Bussmann Series installations, supporting reliable motor protection without sacrificing uptime or serviceability.
The FRS-R-15 is CE Marked, indicating compliance with applicable EU safety directives. Eaton also provides a RoHS verification pathway via its RoHS tools to confirm material compliance, supporting audits and sustainability goals in regulated markets.
Because the FRS-R-15 is non-indicating, plan for periodic replacement during preventive maintenance rather than relying on status signaling. Its 5 in ferrule-end design and RK5 compatibility reduce spare parts complexity. The high interrupt rating and long service intervals can lower total cost of ownership by minimizing unplanned downtime in production lines.
