FAQs
The FRS-R-17-1/2ID uses ferrule end x ferrule end terminals with a standard 5 in body length. For secure, vibration-resistant connections, use ferrule-style terminals and torque per your terminal block specifications. The rugged ferrule ends simplify installation in panel boards and control cabinets.
Amperage rating is 17.5 A, with an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac (and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc). Voltage rating is 600 Vac / 300 Vdc. The device is time-delay and current-limiting, designed to protect branch circuits in industrial controls and motor loads.
Yes. The dual-element, time-delay design accommodates motor inrush, reducing nuisance trips while still providing fast interruption during a fault. It is well-suited for motor starters, conveyors, and other equipment with short-term surges in industrial environments.
The fuse is CE marked, indicating European safety compliance. RoHS information is accessible via Eaton’s RoHS search tool, ensuring environmental compliance data is readily available for procurement and regulatory audits.
Leverage its long-time-delay protection to minimize unnecessary replacements due to inrush trips. Keep spares of the exact model for quick swaps in panel boards, and consider indicator variants if real-time fuse status signaling is required for remote monitoring and faster fault diagnosis.
