70 A rating provides robust protection for standard industrial load profiles, while a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac minimizes arcing and promotes safe disconnection under fault conditions. In practice, this enables reliable protection for motor drives, control circuits, and power distribution blocks, contributing to higher equipment uptime and safer plant operation. The non-current-limiting design reduces nuisance trips in typical non-fault inrush scenarios, simplifying coordination with upstream protections and improving overall line efficiency in standard panel applications. Class H/K5 designation supports compatibility with common Bussmann blade-end fuse blocks, enabling straightforward replacement, quick BOM updates, and reduced maintenance stock. Compact blade-end connections, a 7.9 inch length and 1.34 inch square cross-section, ensure easy installation in tight control panels and modular enclosures. Packaging of five fuses per carton streamlines procurement and inventory management for maintenance teams. Documentation and catalogs from Eaton Bussmann provide clear references for spec validation and compliance checks, supporting engineering decisions and audit readiness.

FAQs

The NOS-70 uses blade-end x blade-end connections designed for standard Bussmann class H/K5 holders. To install, align the fuse ends with the blade contacts, push firmly until seated, and verify full engagement to ensure proper electrical contact. This straightforward installation supports quick maintenance and minimizes downtime during panel servicing, while compatibility with common holders reduces stocking complexity.
The NOS-70 is rated for 70 A with a voltage rating of 600 V and an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 600 Vac. These specifications translate to robust fault-current interruption and safe disconnection for typical industrial control circuits, reducing the risk of arcing and damage to downstream equipment in standard panel configurations.
Yes. The NOS-70 is designed as a general-purpose, non-current-limiting fuse suitable for standard loads in control panels, motor drives, and power distribution blocks. Its 70 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capability provide reliable protection without aggressively limiting inrush, making it ideal for many mainstream automation applications when coordinated with upstream protection.
The NOS-70 carries CE marking, indicating compliance for European installations. For additional product data and compliance verification, consult Eaton Bussmann catalogs and the RoHS tools available through Eaton to confirm material and regulatory conformance relevant to your BOM and end-market requirements.
With five fuses per carton and straightforward blade-end installation, the NOS-70 reduces stocking complexity and maintenance time. Its robust 10 kAIC interrupt rating minimizes downtime from faults, while non-current-limiting behavior lowers nuisance trips in typical loads, contributing to improved line availability, predictable maintenance planning, and lower total cost of ownership for automation systems.
