Time-delay, dual-element current-limiting design centers protection on startup surges while preserving available power for normal operation. This feature reduces nuisance trips and improves equipment uptime, especially on motor loads and conveyors that experience inrush. It is ideal for motor control panels and low-voltage distribution where reliable inrush tolerance matters. UL Listed and RoHS compliant construction ensures regulatory alignment and environmental responsibility. This certifications combination minimizes procurement risk and simplifies audits, making it easier for integrators to meet corporate safety and sustainability targets while maintaining performance in harsh industrial settings. Glass-filled PES body with finger-safe design and a visible fuse indicator enhances maintenance safety and troubleshooting. The blade-end connection supports quick, tool-free installation and straightforward field replacement, while compatibility with Class CF carriers and TCFH400N subassemblies reduces spares and stock complexity. High interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 V supports critical protection in power distribution and control circuits, enabling better protection coordination with upstream breakers and safer conductors. The 50–60 Hz rating broadens applicability across regional electrical systems, from manufacturing floors to data centers. Compact footprint and standard packaging streamline procurement, warehousing, and on-site handling, delivering cost-effective protection without sacrificing performance. The 1-unit packaging, combined with 3.48 in length, 4.26 in height, and 1.7 in width, fits compact panels and retrofit projects while maintaining clear visibility of fuse status. Operational insights from field usage show that this fuse minimizes downtime by reducing nuisance trips and enabling quicker maintenance.

FAQs

The TCF250 is designed for standard Bussmann Class CF cube fuse carriers with blade-end connections. It integrates easily into motor control panels, low-voltage distribution blocks, and control enclosures. For higher ampacity assemblies, it can be used alongside the TCFH400N family, simplifying installation and inventory in retrofit or new-build projects.
The TCF250 fuse provides an interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 V, with a frequency rating of 50–60 Hz. It is a 250 A, time-delay, dual-element current-limiting device, suitable for protecting motor circuits and power distribution in industrial environments.
Yes. The TCF250 is UL Listed, confirming safety certification for electrical protection devices, and RoHS compliant, ensuring restriction of hazardous substances. This combination supports regulatory compliance, safer procurement, and streamlined audits in OEM builds and service environments.
Ideal for motor control panels, conveyors, and low-voltage distribution networks where motor inrush is common. The time-delay design tolerates startup surges while providing reliable fault protection, enabling better protection coordination with upstream devices and reducing unexpected downtime in industrial automation systems.
Power must be de-energized using lockout/tagout procedures before installation. The TCF250 uses blade-end connections in Class CF carriers and provides an indicator for status checks. Replace with the same model to maintain rated current, voltage, and interrupt performance. When upgrading, consider pairing with TCFH400N for higher-amp assemblies to simplify spares.
