The Bussmann Fusetron FRN-R-45 is a 45-amp, 250-volt, Class RK5 dual-element time-delay fuse designed to provide reliable protection for electrical circuits.
Key Features
- Dual-Element Design: Incorporates separate overload and short-circuit elements, allowing for precise sizing up to 125% of motor full-load amperes (FLA).
- Time-Delay Capability: Offers a minimum of 10 seconds delay at 500% of rated current, accommodating temporary motor overloads and surge currents.
- High Interrupting Rating: Rated at 200,000 amperes interrupting capacity (AIC) at 250 VAC and 20,000 AIC at 125 VDC, ensuring robust protection against high fault currents.
- Energy Efficiency: Engineered to be approximately 23% more energy-efficient compared to leading competitors.
- Selective Coordination: Maintains a 2:1 amp ratio within the Bussmann RK5 fuse family, preventing upstream fuses from opening during overcurrent events.
