FAQs
Yes. The FWH5-015A6FR is a Bussmann series high speed fuse designed for compatibility with Bussmann panel protections. It features standard packaging and a 500 V rating, making it a straightforward replacement in common industrial control panels and distribution enclosures. When selecting, verify catalog number FWH5-015A6FR and ensure the holder type matches your panel design for proper electrical contact and secure mounting.
Key ratings are 15 A amperage, 500 V voltage rating, and a 50 kAIC interrupt rating. These ratings indicate the fuse will interrupt faults up to 50 kA at up to 500 V while protecting circuits sized around 15 A. In practice, ensure the circuit load, conductor sizing, and upstream protective devices align with these specifications to maintain safe, selective protection.
This fuse is well suited for industrial control panels, motor drives, and power distribution applications within automation environments. It supports tight panel layouts thanks to its compact form factor and provides fast fault clearing to minimize downtime in machinery, conveyors, and process control systems while maintaining regulatory compliance with RoHS and CSA standards.
The fuse is RoHS compliant and CSA certified. RoHS ensures restriction of hazardous substances, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements, while CSA certification provides third-party safety assurance for electrical products used in North American industrial settings. Together, these certifications reduce audit risk and simplify supplier qualification for OEMs and integrators.
Using the FWH5-015A6FR can lower total cost of ownership through reduced downtime from faster fault clearing (50 kAIC capability), improved circuit selectivity, and fewer nuisance trips. Its compatibility with standard Bussmann spares simplifies stocking, lowers maintenance time, and improves overall reliability of automation systems in manufacturing and processing plants.
