Eaton LESRK17.5 Fuse - Class RK1, UL Listed CSA Certified

The fuse’s 17.5 A amperage rating matches typical motor protection needs in medium-duty drives, preventing nuisance trips while allowing normal start-up current. This precise rating translates into fewer unplanned outages and lower maintenance costs for production lines. It applies to motor feeders, conveyors, and processing equipment powered from 600 V systems, helping engineering teams size protection without overfitting fuses to your loads. With a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, the LESRK17.5 safely interrupts high fault currents without damage or arcing. This improves safety, reduces the risk of secondary equipment damage, and simplifies coordination with upstream protective devices in MCCs and motor feeders that experience current spikes. Class RK1 construction delivers selective protection so only the affected circuit clears on a fault, limiting outages and speeding recovery in busy control panels. This reduces replacement costs and supports reliable operation of motor starters and downstream loads in industrial lines.Non-indicating operation hides fuse status in crowded panels, reducing visual clutter and avoiding indicator misreads during maintenance. The design maintains clear protection while enabling remote or upstream status signaling, making it ideal for Edison fuse blocks and RK1-ready holders in modern control cabinets.UL Listed and CSA Certified credentials demonstrate conformity to global safety standards, aiding audits and supplier qualification in regulated environments. These certifications underpin procurement decisions and support compliance across manufacturing floors where motor protection is critical.The standard form factor and packaging—5 in length with a 0.81 in width and height—facilitate straightforward retrofits in Edison fuse blocks and RK1-compatible holders, minimizing downtime during panel upgrades and replacements.
