FAQs
Install the FWH5-010A6F in standard Bussmann series fuse holders or compatible circuit protection panels. Ensure correct footprint and clearances in compact enclosures, and verify the mounting orientation does not impede heat dissipation. Replace only with the same catalog number to maintain electrical ratings and protective characteristics.
The 500 V rating defines the maximum operating voltage the fuse can interrupt safely, while the 50 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the maximum fault current the fuse can interrupt without damage. Together, they ensure protection for medium-voltage control circuits and fast short-circuit events in industrial environments.
Yes. The 10 A current rating with 50 kAIC interrupt capability suits many motor control circuits and supply rails in automation panels, providing rapid fault clearing to protect drives and upstream electronics while minimizing nuisance trips under normal inrush conditions.
This fuse is CE marked, RoHS compliant, and CSA certified, supporting regulatory compliance in Europe, North America, and other regions. These certifications ease audits and simplify cross-border procurement for OEMs and integrators.
The non-indicating design reduces maintenance complexity in dense cabinets, while its compact size and reliable performance minimize downtime and replacement costs. The combination of high interrupt rating and global certifications also lowers risk and enhances long-term return on investment for automation projects.
