Time-delay, dual-element design delivers selective protection by tolerating temporary inrushes common in motors and drive systems, reducing nuisance trips while preserving circuit protection. Business impact: lower downtime and fewer unnecessary fuse replacements; application: motor feeders and control panels. The 60 A rating paired with a high 200 kAIC interrupt capability at 600 Vac provides rapid fault clearing for critical loads, improving safety and equipment longevity. Business impact: enhanced protection with minimized arc energy; application: feeders and branch circuits in manufacturing environments. Ferrule-end connections and a ferrule-to-ferrule layout offer reliable, push-in installation compatible with standard RK5 holders; business impact: faster commissioning and safer maintenance, reducing labor costs. Application: retrofit and new builds where quick, secure connections matter. The with-indicator fuse variant provides visual confirmation of status, cutting maintenance time and preventing missed faults; business impact: faster triage and uptime. Application: panel boards and distribution blocks in control rooms. Compact footprint—5.5 in length, 1.6 in width and height, 0.25 lb weight—facilitates dense panel layouts and easier handling; business impact: higher wiring density and reduced enclosure size. Application: compact control panels and space-constrained installations. Compliance with CE Marking ensures regulatory alignment across EU markets; business impact: smoother procurement and fewer compliance delays. Application: multinational projects with standardized sourcing. The 600 Vac / 250 Vdc rating covers both AC and DC circuits, enabling versatile protection in mixed environments; business impact: single-solution versatility for varied plant electricals. Application: mixed-load facilities including conveyors, drives, and power distribution units.

FAQs
FRS-R-60ID uses ferrule end terminals and is designed for Bussmann RK5 style holders, making it compatible with standard RK5 panel blocks and common industrial distribution assemblies. Its 5.5 in length and 1.6 in width fit typical enclosure spaces, while the 60 A rating supports mid-range branch protection. Confirm connector sizing and mounting clearance during retrofit planning.
The time-delay (dual-element) design tolerates brief inrush currents typical of motors and drives, reducing nuisance trips without compromising fault isolation. This improves equipment uptime and allows selective coordination with upstream protective devices. For applications with frequent startups, this feature delivers smoother operation and lower maintenance costs over the life of the installation.
Yes, the FRS-R-60ID is CE marked, signaling compliance with EU safety requirements. While primarily associated with European markets, this designation supports global procurement standards. The fuse is designed to other applicable environmental expectations, and Eaton provides documentation through its catalogs and compliance tools to assist with qualification testing.
Using the FRS-R-60ID reduces downtime by providing a clear indicator and reliable protection for branch circuits, minimizing unexpected outages. The robust 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac supports fast fault clearing, lowering repair costs after faults. The indicator helps maintenance teams quickly verify fuse status, speeding troubleshooting and refill cycles in high-availability environments.
This fuse excels in industrial control panels, motor feeders, and power distribution blocks where reliable, time-delay protection is needed and space is at a premium. Its RK5 classification, ferrule-end connections, and broad voltage ratings (600 Vac / 250 Vdc) support diverse applications—mechanical systems, conveyors, HVAC, and distributed drives—while meeting EU and U.S. installation practices.
