Time-delay, dual-element current-limiting design tolerates motor inrush and short-circuit energy, preventing unnecessary interruptions. The business impact is improved uptime and reduced wear on contactors, enabling coordinated protection with upstream devices. This makes the FRS-R-400 ideal for motor feeders, large drives, and power distribution panels in manufacturing environments. High amperage rating of 400 A paired with an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac delivers robust protection for high-current circuits. The business impact is minimized damage from faults and safer switchgear operation, reducing repair costs and downtime. This is well-suited for main feeders and switchgear in plant-wide safety and reliability programs. 600 Vac / 300 Vdc voltage rating and a defined response time provide predictable protection coordination with upstream fuses and breakers. The business impact is faster fault clearance and controlled fault energy dissipation, supporting compliant protection schemes and safer panel designs. Applications include control panels for conveyors, presses, and process equipment. Blade-end x blade-end connections, dual elements, and non-indicating status with standard packaging simplify installation and maintenance. The business impact is quicker field replacement, reduced spare-part variety, and seamless retrofit in RK5-compatible fuse holders and Bussmann-series installations. This supports consistent performance across multi-vendor automation architectures. Compliance and sourcing advantages stem from CE marking and RK5 class alignment, ensuring compatibility with common industrial controls and global panels. The business impact is improved procurement efficiency, safer regulatory alignment, and lower total cost of ownership across sites.

FAQs

The FRS-R-400 features blade end x blade end connections and follows the RK5 class framework, aligning with standard Bussmann-series fuses. It fits common low-voltage branch circuit panels and compatible fuse holders in industrial control panels. For retrofit projects, ensure your enclosure supports 5.5 inch length fuses and dual-element, non-indicating designs to maintain proper fit and protection coordination.
Key ratings include 400 A amperage, 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc, with a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 300 Vdc. It provides time-delay protection with a defined response profile (10 seconds at 500% overload). These specs support selective coordination in motor feeders and large-power circuits while limiting fault energy.
Ideal for manufacturing, process automation, and industrial power distribution, the FRS-R-400 protects large motors, control panels, conveyors, presses, and other high-current equipment. Its RK5 class and dual-element design support durable protection in harsh environments, reducing nuisance trips while maintaining safety and equipment uptime in critical production lines.
The FRS-R-400 is CE marked, indicating conformity with applicable European standards for electrical protection devices. Its RK5 class designation aligns with industry expectations for current-limiting protection in industrial panels. This combination simplifies cross-border procurement and helps ensure regulatory compliance within multi-site automation projects.
By tolerating inrush with time-delay performance and delivering reliable fault clearance, the FRS-R-400 reduces nuisance trips and lowers downtime. Its standard packaging and blade-end connections streamline field replacement, stocking, andç»´äż®, cutting maintenance costs. Over time, improved equipment protection and predictable coordination translate to lower total cost of ownership across large-scale installations.
