The Gould Shawmut R162 Type L Fuse Reducer is an essential component for electrical systems requiring the adaptation of lower-rated fuses into higher-rated fuse clips. This device enables the installation of 60A fuses into 100A, 250V Class R fuse clips, and 30A fuses into 100A, 600V Class R fuse clips, thereby enhancing circuit protection and flexibility.
Key Features
- Versatile Compatibility: Designed to accommodate 60A fuses in 100A, 250V Class R fuse clips, and 30A fuses in 100A, 600V Class R fuse clips.
- Enhanced Circuit Protection: Allows for the use of closer-rated time-delay fuses, improving the precision of circuit protection.
- Rejection-Type Design: Ensures that only Class R fuses fit into Class R clips, maintaining system integrity and safety.
- High Short-Circuit Current Rating: Tested for a short-circuit current rating of 200kA, providing robust protection against electrical faults.
- Compliance and Certification: UL Listed and CSA Certified, meeting stringent safety and performance standards.
Applications
The R162 Fuse Reducer is ideal for scenarios where existing equipment with higher ampere-rated fuse clips needs to accommodate lower-rated fuses. This is particularly beneficial in motor circuits, allowing for the replacement of renewable or one-time fuses with fuses sized closer to the motor’s nameplate current, thereby enhancing protection and operational efficiency.
