<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>Bussmann 216-R</strong> is a Class R rejection-type fuse reducer that adapts smaller-amperage fuses into larger-capacity fuse blocks and clips. It allows <strong>35–60A fuses at 250V or 1–30A fuses at 600V</strong> to fit safely into 100A equipment holders. This two-piece reducer improves circuit protection by enabling technicians to use appropriately sized fuses in existing switch gear without replacing the entire holder assembly.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Rejection-type design ensures physical and electrical compatibility with RK1 and RK5 class fuses</li>
<li>Accommodates Class R dimension fuses (FRN-R, LPN-RK, FRS-R, LPS-RK, KTN-R, KTS-R series)</li>
<li>Fits into most panels and switches, including dead-front type installations</li>
<li>Strong mechanical and electrical contact maintained in both fuse and holder</li>
<li>UL-listed and CSA-certified for safety compliance</li>
<li>Non-indicating design suitable for general-purpose fuse protection</li>
</ul>
