Eaton TPN-125 Telecommunication Fuse - 100 kAIC
Part Number: TPN-125
Quick Summary
The TPN-125 telecommunication fuse from Eaton provides reliable overcurrent protection for DC telecom power systems. In practice, engineers often wrestle with selecting fuses that tolerate surge events without nuisance trips or complicated replacement workflows. This device delivers a 125 A amperage rating, a 170 Vdc voltage rating, and a 100 kAIC interrupt capability, making it suitable for demanding telecom equipment. Its non-indicating design reduces panel clutter, while silver-plated terminals support robust, low-resistance connections. For procurement teams, this combination translates to simpler installation, lower maintenance costs, and improved system uptime in mission-critical telecom environments.

FAQs
The TPN-125 uses a standard footprint with dimensions listed as 1.5 in width/depth and a height of 7 in, suitable for common telecom panel layouts and field installations.
The fuse is rated for 125 A continuous current, 170 Vdc maximum voltage, and a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, providing strong upstream protection for DC telecom circuits.
Yes. With its 170 Vdc rating and current-limiting characteristics, it is well-suited for DC distribution paths in telecom data centers and central office equipment racks.
The provided data denotes Not Applicable for Compliances and Warranty; no CE, SIL, or IP certifications are listed for this specific part in the available data.
Because the fuse is non-indicating, visual status checks aren’t possible; plan periodic electrical testing and system health monitoring to confirm protection remains intact and replace after fault or end-of-life cycles.
