FAQs

Install in a compatible Bussmann RK1 fuse holder or panel designed for RK1 Class fuses. Confirm the amperage rating of 0.5 A and voltage rating of 250 Vac / 125 Vdc matches the circuit. Ensure proper seating, tighten correctly to the panel’s specifications, and verify clear labeling for quick future maintenance. Refer to the datasheet no. 1003 for installation specifics and torque values.
The fuse is 0.5 A with voltage ratings of 250 Vac and 125 Vdc, featuring dual-element, time-delay, current-limiting construction. It provides 100 kAIC at 125 Vdc and 300 kAIC at 250 Vac, with a response time of 8 seconds at 500% overload. It is a Class RK1 device suitable for motor protection and control panels.
Yes. The time-delay, dual-element design handles motor inrush and surge currents typical in drives and conveyors, while the high interrupt ratings protect upstream devices. Its RK1 class and 2 in length make it compatible with common panel layouts, improving startup reliability and protecting motor windings in automation applications.
The product is CE marked, indicating compliance with European safety standards. RoHS-related information is available via Eaton’s RoHS search tool, aiding environmental compliance checks. While CE is specifically listed, verify any additional regional certifications required for your installation with the local authority having jurisdiction.
The data indicates Warranty: Not Applicable for this fuse. For ongoing support, reference Eaton’s technical service and distributor resources to obtain product lifecycle information, replacement guidance, and access to data sheets and application notes as needed.
