Eaton FWP-500A High-Speed Fuse - UL Recognized

High-speed protection is foundational: The FWP-500A delivers rapid fault interruption with 500 A RMS and high interrupt ratings up to 200 kAIC Vac and 50 kAIC at 700 Vdc, protecting cables and devices from catastrophic faults. This translates into reduced downtime and lower repair costs in motor drives and feeders, improving overall equipment effectiveness. In practice, engineers can rely on it for motor-drive protection and DC-link safety in automation panels, thanks to its robust 250 Vac/dc voltage rating and controlled watt losses of 107 W, balancing protection with thermal performance. Flexible installation supports fast integration: Blade-end x blade-end connections and stud mounting enable flexible panel layouts and quick wiring. This compatibility with the Bussmann series reduces engineering effort when replacing legacy fuses or upgrading protection schemes, minimizing change orders and commissioning time. Compliance and reliability are built in: CE Marked, RoHS compliant, CSA Certified, and UL Recognized provide global regulatory alignment and trusted quality for international projects. Physical and maintenance considerations: Standard packaging, 7.5 in length, 2.55 in width, 2.18 lb weight, and non-indicating status simplify inventory and diagnostics in controlled environments. The non-indicating design reduces nuisance trips on light loads, while the mounting method and connection style support secure, vibration-resistant installations in industrial cabinets.
