Eaton FWH-60A high speed fuse Industrial Grade - 1000 Vdc
Part Number: FWH-60A
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann series FWH high speed fuse protects DC power circuits in industrial automation and power distribution. Engineers often face nuisance trips and downtime when fuses fail to clear fast enough or tolerate voltage transients in harsh industrial environments. This model lists RoHS compliance and a 1000 Vdc rating, with a 60 A current capacity, and a robust stud mounting design for reliable panel integration. While CE or SIL certifications may be required for certain environments, consult the factory to confirm application-specific approvals. For global deployments, the compact dimensions and standard packaging support easy stocking and quick replacements, helping minimize maintenance intervals and lifecycle costs.

FAQs
The FWH-60A uses stud mounting, providing a robust mechanical connection suitable for rugged industrial panels. It aligns with standard Bussmann/FWH series installations and is compatible with enclosures and panel boards designed for stud-type fuses. Ensure mounting studs are properly torqued to manufacturer specifications and use compatible lugs or connectors designed for 0.93 in width and 0.88 in depth to maintain reliable contact.
Key ratings are a 60 A current rating and a 1000 Vdc voltage rating, with a high-speed fuse action. This makes the FWH-60A ideal for DC power distribution, motor drive protection, DC link protection in inverters, and battery charging circuits where fast fault clearance minimizes collateral damage and downtime.
The FWH-60A is RoHS compliant, supporting global regulatory requirements for many markets. For application-specific certifications such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings, verify with Eaton’s factory or reference the official datasheet to confirm if additional approvals are available for your region or industry sector.
Follow manufacturer torque specifications for the mounting studs and use properly rated lug hardware to ensure solid electrical contact. Verify enclosure clearance and adequate ventilation to manage heat during fault conditions. Keep the fuse interface clean and free of corrosion, and comply with RoHS guidelines to avoid contaminant-related failures in high-energy DC systems.
The FWH-60A’s high-speed operation minimizes arc damage and reduces downtime during faults, lowering repair costs and system quiet periods. Its compact, non-indicating design simplifies replacement workflows, enabling quicker maintenance cycles. With RoHS compliance and straightforward availability via Eaton catalogs, you can optimize spare parts stocking and improve overall protection strategy ROI.
