Eaton TPN-600 Telecommunication Fuse - 100 kAIC
Part Number: TPN-600
Quick Summary
TPN-600 is a telecommunication fuse that protects sensitive power feeds in telecom and data-center equipment. Engineers often battle nuisance trips and outages caused by transient faults; this fuse provides current-limiting protection to keep networks online. While specific certifications like CE or IP are not listed in the data sheet, the 170 Vdc rating and 100 kAIC interrupt rating align with telecom protection needs—consult Eaton for regional approvals. With non-indicating status, standard packaging, and silver-plated terminals, it enables straightforward installation and long service life, supporting reduced maintenance costs and improved MTBF for critical systems. In practice, you gain robust protection without adding complexity to existing Bussmann series layouts.

FAQs
TPN-600 fits standard fuse holders with a compact 2.5 in depth and 2.5 in width. Its non-indicating design simplifies panel layout, and silver-plated terminals provide durable, low-resistance connections. When retrofitting, verify panel cutouts, torque specifications for the terminals, and ensure compatibility with existing Bussmann series holders to minimize downtime.
The fuse provides current-limiting protection with a 170 Vdc rating, 600 A carrying capability, and a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, which helps limit fault energy and protect DC distribution components. This translates to reduced arc energy, lower risk of collateral damage, and improved MTBF for critical telecom and data-center feeders.
The provided data does not list specific CE or IP certifications. For regional requirements, consult Eaton to confirm current certifications or to identify suitable equivalents for your installation site. Always verify with your compliance team before deployment in regulated environments.
Match 170 Vdc voltage, 600 A amperage, and a 100 kAIC interrupt rating to your DC distribution circuit and fault-current levels. The high interrupt rating supports large fault events, while the voltage and current ratings ensure safe operation within telecom and data-center power paths.
The non-indicating design reduces panel clutter and maintenance checks, while robust construction and silver-plated terminals improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. These factors contribute to lower maintenance costs, higher MTBF, and a faster mean time to repair in network infrastructure deployments.
