Eaton Specification Sheet - FWP-200
The 175A RMS amperage rating provides robust overcurrent protection for motors, drives, and feeders, reducing nuisance trips and wear on contact interfaces. This translates to lower maintenance costs and enhanced equipment availability in automation cabinets and power distribution blocks. The high interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC Vac and 50 kAIC at 700 Vdc enable safe interruption of large fault currents, safeguarding downstream equipment and minimizing arc energy in harsh industrial environments. With blade-end x blade-end connections and a stud mounting option, installation is flexible, allowing quick retrofits and straightforward integration into existing protection architectures. The compact 5.3 in length, 1.58 in height, and 1.57 in width fit standard enclosures without compromising protection density, supporting more efficient panel design. Compliance with CE, RoHS, UL, and CSA reduces regulatory risks for global manufacturers. Watt losses of 35 W contribute to overall energy efficiency in continuous protection scenarios, further optimizing total cost of ownership. Industry practitioners benefit from datasheet availability and familiar Bussmann series styling, which streamlines procurement, stocking, and cross-reference within electrical maintenance programs.

FAQs
The FWP-175A supports blade-end x blade-end connections and a stud mounting option, enabling flexible installation in control panels, switchgear, and cabinet enclosures. For retrofit projects, blade-end connections simplify tabbed wiring in existing Bussmann-style holders, while stud mounting is preferred for rugged, vibration-prone installations or where secure, bolted connections are required. Verify enclosure space and mounting clearance against the 5.3 in length, 1.58 in height, and 1.57 in width to ensure a proper fit.
The FWP-175A is rated for 175A RMS with an interrupt capability of 200 kAIC Vac and 50 kAIC at 700 Vdc. This combination allows safe interruption of high-energy faults in both AC and DC circuits, making it suitable for motors, drives, and feeder circuits in industrial environments. Power losses are specified at 35 W, contributing to energy efficiency in continuous protection roles.
Yes. The FWP-175A carries UL Recognized and CSA Certified listings, and it is CE marked RoHS compliant. These certifications support compliance across North American and global markets, ensuring safety, reliability, and environmental responsibility in automation and electrical protection applications.
