Eaton FRS-R-17-1/2 Fuse - Class RK5

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Time-delay, dual-element design provides selective protection and reduces nuisance trips in equipment with inrush currents, such as motors and drives, improving uptime and extending motor life. This translates to lower maintenance costs and smoother production lines in manufacturing and process environments. Feature → Application: 17.5 A rating paired with a 600 Vac / 300 Vdc voltage rating enables protection across common industrial power feeds and controls, ensuring compliant coordination with downstream devices and reducing the risk of overcurrent damage in panels and switchgear. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac (and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc) delivers robust fault handling for high-short-circuit scenarios, safeguarding feeders and critical control circuits in data centers, automotive, and packaging lines. Feature → Compatibility → Installation: Ferrule-end terminations and a standard 5 in length with a compact 0.81 in square profile enable straightforward drop-in replacement in Bussmann RK5 housings, minimizing panel rework and installation time. Feature → Compliance and indication: Non-indicating status simplifies labeling, while CE compliance is verified; consider adding a fuse status indicator or panel-mounted indicator if visual confirmation is required. Feature → Reliability and lifecycle: Class RK5 architecture is a well-established protection family, providing predictable behavior across vendors and simplifying stocking, maintenance planning, and long-term Spares procurement. The result is improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and a lower total cost of ownership in mixed OEM and end-user facilities.
