Eaton FRS-R-6ID Fuse - RK5 Dual-Element 200 kAIC
Part Number: FRS-R-6ID
Quick Summary
The Eaton FRS-R-6ID fuse is a time-delay, dual-element protection device designed for industrial control circuits. Nuisance trips and undersized interrupt ratings can jeopardize uptime in demanding environments, so technicians need reliable protection that tolerates inrush without compromising safety. This CE-marked, Class RK5 fuse delivers 6 A of protection with an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc, while maintaining a measured time-delay response to cope with startup surges. The design also supports RoHS compliance and easy panel retrofits thanks to ferrule-end terminations and a compact 5 in form factor. Together, these features translate into safer panels, lower maintenance costs, and faster mean time to repair for industrial systems.

Bussmann series Fuseology
Bussmann series FRS-R 600 V Class R up to 60 A fuse data sheet no. 1017
Feature: Time-delay, dual-element design provides selective protection during startup surges. Business Impact: Reduces nuisance trips and extends equipment life by preventing unnecessary fuse blows. Application: Ideal for motor drives, conveyors, and PLC power rails with repeated inrush events. The approach helps you maintain process uptime while protecting downstream electronics. Feature: RK5 current-limiting class fuse with 6 A rating and ferrule-end terminations. Business Impact: Minimizes fault energy delivered to downstream components, reducing damage risk and improving arc quenching performance. Application: Fits standard Bussmann series holders in control panels and machine builds. Feature: High interrupt ratings of 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc and 200 kAIC at 600 Vac. Business Impact: Provides robust protection for high-energy faults, enabling safer panel designs and easier code compliance. Application: Branch circuits in vending, packaging, and automotive assembly lines. Feature: Time-delay performance with defined response time (10 sec at 500% overload). Business Impact: Balances fast fault clearing with inrush tolerance to maintain equipment continuity. Application: Power distribution blocks and motor starter circuits. Feature: Optional indicator variant and RoHS/CE compliance. Business Impact: Simplifies maintenance with clear status checks and ensures regulatory alignment for global deployments. Application: Retrofitting existing panels or integrating into new builds with standard ferrule-end connections.

FAQs
The FRS-R-6ID uses ferrule-end terminations and is designed to fit standard Bussmann/FRS-R series holders. Its 5 in length and 0.81 in cross-section simplify retrofits in common control panels and machine enclosures, while preserving the RK5 class protection and current-limiting characteristics. Ensure the panel wiring can accommodate ferrule terminations for reliable connections.
The fuse is 6 A with an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 20 kAIC at 300 Vdc. It provides time-delay protection with a response of about 10 seconds at 500% overload, making it suitable for motor inrush and surge conditions while safeguarding downstream circuitry.
Yes. The dual-element time-delay design, RK5 class, and high interrupt ratings support motor protection in control panels and motor starter circuits. Its compact form and ferrule-terminals simplify installation in footprint-constrained panels commonly found in conveyors, packaging, and light industrial equipment.
The FRS-R-6ID is CE marked and belongs to the Eaton Bussmann RK5 family, aligning with RoHS compliance processes. This ensures regulatory compatibility for many regional markets and reduces compliance risk during global deployments.
If you select the indicating version, fuse status can be monitored without opening panels, reducing diagnostic time and MTTR. This capability lowers maintenance costs over the fuse’s lifetime and improves equipment availability in critical production lines.
