FAQs

The FRS-R-225 is a dual-element, time-delay fuse with blade end x blade end connections, designed for standard panel layouts. It fits common industrial control cabinets and feeders that use RK5 class fuses, simplifying replacement and ensuring consistent protection across line and load interfaces.
The time-delay characteristic allows the fuse to tolerate short-term surge currents, such as startup transients from motors, while still interrupting sustained faults. This reduces nuisance trips during startup and improves overall drive system uptime, helping protect motor windings and drives without sacrificing safety.
Yes. The fuse is rated for 600 Vac and 300 Vdc, making it suitable for mixed AC and DC circuits commonly found in automation and control panels. This versatility supports consolidated stock and simplified maintenance for facilities with diverse power architectures.
The FRS-R-225 is CE marked, indicating conformity with European safety and performance standards. RoHS compliance information can be verified using Eaton’s RoHS Search Tool, helping ensure environmental compliance across global installations. Always confirm current certification status in your region and with your procurement policy.
With a non-indicating fuse indicator and standard packaging, maintenance relies on periodic electrical testing rather than visual status checks. The dual-element design and high interrupt ratings support longer service intervals, while standard blade-end connections enable quick replacement, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership in high-volume production lines.
