Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
TCF250RN

Quick Summary

The Eaton TCF250RN fuse provides time-delay Class CF protection for heavy industrial motor circuits. Nuisance trips during motor startups are a common challenge in control panels, which this device mitigates. UL Listed and RoHS compliant, with Class CF timing and 250 A rating, it supports robust safety and compliance. For panel builders and OEMs, its compatibility with Bussmann Series components and 600 VDC/600 VAC applications translates to faster deployments and lower lifecycle costs. Engineers benefit from predictable fault clearing, easier diagnostics through standardized markings, and reduced spare parts through high-interrupt-capacity, long-lasting protection. Its dual-element design provides both short-circuit protection and nuisance-trip resistance, enhancing uptime. The blade-end connection simplifies replacement in existing fleets.

Time-delay operation in the TCF250RN fuse provides surge tolerant protection that keeps motors from nuisance trips during startup. By delaying the current cut-off just enough to ride through inrush events, it preserves drive uptime and reduces wear on soft starters. This performance is especially valuable in belt-driven conveyors, pumps, and fans where startup transients are predictable but critical to protect. Dual-element current-limiting design combines fast fault interruption with sustained fault tolerance, delivering safer arcing control and lower energy spikes. That combination improves switchgear longevity and protects downstream devices, enabling tighter overcurrent protection without tripping nuisance alarms. In practice, technicians report fewer service calls when this fuse guards heavy loads in automation cells. Rated 250 A with a 600 V operating range, the TCF250RN covers a broad spectrum of industrial circuits and panel layouts. Its high 200 kAIC interrupt rating ensures excellent upstream fault clearance, even in dense power distribution networks. This rating provides a robust margin for future expansion and meets common utility and equipment supplier requirements. Blade-end connection simplifies retrofit and field installation into existing Bussmann Class CF holders, saving time during panel modernization. The finger-safe design reduces handling risk during maintenance and replacement procedures. The non-indicating body minimizes false diagnostics while focusing attention on electrical performance and compliance. RoHS compliance and UL listing provide regulatory alignment for global builds, while compatibility with the Bussmann Series ecosystem ensures consistent stocking and procurement. The device is used with TCFH400N in compatible configurations, enabling scalable protection for larger feeders. Overall, the TCF250RN helps reduce total cost of ownership by improving uptime and simplifying spare-part inventories.

FAQs

The TCF250RN is designed for blade-end installations common in Bussmann Class CF holders and is compatible with standard Bussmann Series protection schemes. It integrates easily into existing panels, and works with configurations that support TCFH400N in linked protection setups. When retrofitting, verify that the enclosure clearance and bus bars meet the 4.26 in length, 3.48 in height, and 1.7 in width footprint.
The device is rated for 250 A and 600 V, with a 200 kAIC interrupt capacity, and operates across 50–60 Hz. This combination supports large motor feeders and high-energy circuits in both AC and DC environments, providing robust short-circuit protection while tolerating routine startup transients.
Yes. Its time-delay Class CF design and dual-element current-limiting enable reliable motor protection by handling startup surges without unnecessary tripping, while still providing rapid fault clearance for short circuits. This makes it well-suited for conveyors, pumps, fans, and other motor-driven equipment in automation cells.
The fuse is UL Listed and RoHS compliant, ensuring safety, environmental, and regulatory alignment across North American and many international supply chains. These certifications are important for compliance audits, product approvals, and customer qualification processes in regulated industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and automotive ecosystems.
The non-indicating, finger-safe body reduces handling risk and simplifies maintenance routines, while its high interrupt rating and reliable performance cut unplanned downtime and spare-parts spending. Compatibility with the Bussmann series ecosystem further streamlines procurement, stocking, and field replacement, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
