FAQs
The device uses standard Bussmann series form factors and a catalog number FWH5-12.5A6FR, simplifying sourcing. Install in ventilated, standardized fuse blocks rated for 500 V, and verify secure terminations to minimize loose connections that could affect protection performance.
A 50 kAIC interrupt rating means the fuse can safely interrupt large fault currents without excessive arcing or damage to surrounding components. This translates to improved panel safety, reduced collateral damage, and greater reliability in systems with high short-circuit potential.
Yes. The fuse is RoHS compliant and CSA certified, ensuring compliance with environmental and safety standards in many North American and international industrial applications, easing regulatory audits and procurement approvals.
Ideal for industrial control circuits, machine panels, and power distribution in automation lines. Its 12.5 A rating, 500 V capability, and fast trip behavior protect sensitive controls and prevent collateral damage in conveyors, robotics, and packaging equipment.
Warranty is listed as Not Applicable on the data sheet, but Eaton provides official catalogs and datasheets, including the FWH RoHS catalog and the specification sheet, which help with installation guidelines, performance data, and compatibility checks.
