FAQs
RDF600J-2 occupies a substantial but standard footprint suitable for common industrial enclosures. Its dimensions are 14.5 inches in depth, 11.2 inches in width, and 9.6 inches in height, with an approximate weight of 39.12 pounds. When planning a retrofit or new installation, verify clearance for front-access operation and fuse access panels. The unit is designed to integrate with Bussmann series fuse elements, enabling straightforward substitutions without extensive rewiring. Ensure mounting hardware and enclosure space accommodate the front-hand operation and fuse compartment for safe maintenance and testing.
The RDF600J-2 is rated for 600 amperes with dual voltage support of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. This fused rotary disconnect provides robust isolation for high-current applications and is suitable for use in power distribution panels and machine control circuits. When selecting for a system, confirm that your downstream equipment and fuses are compatible with the Bussmann RDF family and that installation practices meet your site’s electrical codes and safety standards.
Yes, the RDF600J-2 is RoHS compliant, aligning with regulatory requirements for reducing hazardous substances in electrical components. This makes it suitable for regulated industries such as electronics manufacturing, automotive assembly, and process industries where RoHS conformance is expected. Practically, RoHS compliance supports easier supplier qualification and waste handling while maintaining the device’s performance and reliability in routine operating conditions.
Ideal applications include industrial control panels, machine power distribution, and switchgear assemblies requiring safe, rapid isolation. The 600 A rating and dual 600 Vac/600 Vdc capability make it suitable for heavy equipment, conveyors, presses, and packaging lines. Its front-hand operation and fused design help minimize downtime during fuse changes and testing, while its RoHS compliance supports sustainability goals. When selecting for a project, consider enclosure size, fuse compatibility with Bussmann products, and the need for quick-swap fuses during maintenance windows.
Plan for periodic fuse inspection and replacement as part of standard maintenance, leveraging the front-access design to minimize panel opening time and exposure. The fused design provides protective isolation, helping prevent downstream faults during servicing. Its robust construction and moderate weight indicate durability in typical factory environments, but plan for proper handling and storage of spare Bussmann fuse elements. Maintain documentation using the supplied specification sheet and datasheets to ensure correct fuse types and replacement intervals, supporting a predictable total cost of ownership.
