FAQs
The FRS-R-175 uses blade end x blade end connections, which simplifies insertion into standard Bussmann RK5 style holders and common panel configurations. Its compact 9.63 in length and 1.6 in width fit typical distribution enclosures, reducing wiring complexity and enabling quick replacements during scheduled maintenance.
Key ratings include a 175 A amperage rating, a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac, and a 20 kAIC rating at 300 Vdc. It is a time-delay, dual-element, current-limiting fuse with a 10 s response time at 500% overload, making it suitable for motors and inrush-heavy circuits.
Commonly deployed in industrial control panels, motor control centers, and automation drives across manufacturing, packaging, and process industries. Its RK5 characteristics and high interrupt rating support protection for heavy electrical loads, PLC power rails, and servo drives while minimizing downtime due to nuisance trips.
The FRS-R-175 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with regional safety and environmental standards. Class RK5 provides consistent performance characteristics, ensuring predictable protection profiles and easier regulatory alignment for European and global installations.
By combining time-delay functionality with a high interrupt rating, the FRS-R-175 reduces nuisance trips during motor startups, lowering unplanned downtime. Its dual-element design and standardized RK5 form factor simplify inventory, replacements, and field service, delivering lower maintenance costs and quicker mean time to repair (MTTR) in automation environments.
