Eaton TPW-175 Telecommunication Fuse - 80 Vdc 100 kAIC
Part Number: TPW-175
Quick Summary
The Eaton TPW-175 telecommunication fuse is designed to protect telecom circuits by interrupting fault currents. In high-density data centers and outdoor telecom enclosures, unreliable protection can lead to costly downtime and equipment damage. While this listing notes Not Applicable for warranty and compliances, industry practice for telecom power protection relies on standards such as CE marking and UL/CSA listings, and your project should verify regional requirements. The key electrical ratings—80 Vdc, 175 A, and 100 kAIC—coupled with a compact, non-indicating design deliver reliable circuit protection without adding panel clutter. Together with Eaton's datasheets and support resources, TPW-175 supports fast deployment in DC distribution networks and helps meet reliability targets for telecom protection and power distribution.

High interrupt rating provides robust fault clearance, reducing arc exposure and protecting sensitive telecom equipment, especially in DC distribution paths. This translates to lower maintenance costs and improved system uptime in data centers and field installations. The 100 kAIC interrupt rating under 80 Vdc ensures rapid fault clearance during short circuits, minimizing downstream damage and enabling safer, faster service restoration for critical networks. The 175 A amperage rating precisely protects feeders and power rails without nuisance tripping during transient surges, supporting stable operation of switchgear and telecom racks while reducing unnecessary outages. The non-indicating fuse design saves valuable panel space and simplifies modular installations; for visibility in critical environments, it can be paired with indicator accessories or remote fault monitoring to maintain situational awareness. The Telpower compatibility with double-wide fused disconnect switches simplifies integration, reduces spare parts inventory, and accelerates commissioning in telecom cabinets and data-center power rails. Comprehensive datasheets and multimedia resources underpin fast procurement and compliant deployment, enhancing project planning with clear installation guidance and performance expectations.
