FAQs
Choose a compatible Bussmann series holder or fuse block that accepts standard 500 V fuses and verify the circuit protection rating matches the 10 A amperage and 500 V voltage. Verify RoHS compliance and CSA certification for regulatory alignment. Use proper wiring practices, secure mounting, and consult the Eaton datasheet for mounting torque and clearance to ensure safe, reliable operation.
A 50 kAIC interrupt rating enables rapid interruption of high fault currents, minimizing energy that can damage downstream components, reduce arc risk, and shorten fault duration. This enhances equipment protection, improves overall system reliability, and lowers the likelihood of cascading failures in motor drives and control circuits.
Yes. With a 500 V rating, 10 A current rating, and 50 kAIC interrupt capacity, it is well-suited for protective isolation and fast fault clearing in industrial control panels and motor drive circuits. Its non-indicating design simplifies retrofits and replacements, while RoHS and CSA certification support compliant deployment in automation projects.
The fuse is CSA Certified and RoHS Compliant. CSA certification confirms electrical safety and performance to recognized standards, while RoHS compliance ensures restricted hazardous substances are not present. Together, they support regulatory acceptance, safer procurement, and environmentally responsible design in industrial applications.
The high-speed response reduces downtime from short circuits and protects expensive downstream equipment, delivering lower repair costs over the asset life. Easy sourcing within the Bussmann family streamlines procurement, while standard packaging and non-indicating design speed replacement during maintenance, improving plant uptime and asset availability.
