Time-delay, dual-element design provides selective coordination for motor loads, helping protect motors while avoiding premature trips. This translates to fewer nuisance interruptions during normal startup sequences and load transients, reducing wear on contactors and drives. In practice, the FRS-R-25 is well suited for control panels, motor control centers, and feeder circuits where accurate protection is required without compromising productivity. Industry engineers value the predictable response of RK5 fuses in mixed loads. High interrupt ratings support protection in high fault current environments. With 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc, the fuse can halt serious faults quickly, limiting collateral damage to downstream equipment. This capability lowers repair costs and downtime after a fault, while enabling more compact layouts since upstream protection can be sized for demanding conditions. Typical applications include large power distribution panels and switchgear assemblies in manufacturing facilities. Class RK5 and ferrule-end terminations enable straightforward integration into standard Bussmann catalog holders. Non-indicating fuses simplify visual checks during routine maintenance, while the ferrule-to-ferrule connection provides a robust, vibration-tolerant interface in panel enclosures. The 5 inch length and compact 0.81 in footprint fit common fuse holders, reducing installation time and stocking complexity for spare parts. Operational performance is tuned for real-world industrial duty. The 10 second response time at 500% overload offers a controlled delay that balances protection against nuisance trips with fast clearing during genuine faults. CE marking reinforces regulatory alignment and supports compliant procurement across multiple sites.

FAQs

The FRS-R-25 uses ferrule end terminations and is designed for standard RK5 fuse holders used in Bussmann series panels. Its 5 in length and 0.81 in width fit typical panelboard cutouts, enabling straightforward drop-in replacements and minimal wiring changes during maintenance or upgrades.
The fuse is rated for 25 A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac or 300 Vdc. It provides an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc, meaning it can safely interrupt high fault currents in AC mains and DC links while maintaining system integrity and limiting damage to adjacent components.
Yes. Its time-delay, dual-element design offers motor-friendly protection by tolerating inrush and startup surges while still clearing faults promptly. This helps reduce nuisance trips on motors and drives in control panels, making it well suited for HVAC, conveyors, and other motor-driven processes.
The FRS-R-25 is CE marked, confirming EU regulatory compliance. It is part of Eaton's Bussmann RK5 line, which is widely used in industrial applications for standardized protection. This helps with regulatory alignment and cross-site procurement in multi-site operations.
The fuse offers reliable protection with predictable time-delay behavior, reducing unplanned downtime due to nuisance trips. Its robust interrupt ratings minimize collateral damage from faults, lowering repair costs and spare-part requirements. Standardized RK5 form factor also simplifies stocking and faster replacements, contributing to overall lifecycle savings.
