Overview
The Gould Shawmut TRS1-6/10R is a Class RK5 time-delay cartridge fuse engineered for overcurrent protection in industrial and commercial electrical systems. Rated for 1 6/10 Ampere (1.6A) at 600VAC and 600VDC, this dual-element Tri-Onic fuse safely accommodates harmless starting and inrush currents while providing rapid protection against dangerous faults.
Key Features
- Class RK5 current-limiting — reduces let-through energy and thermal stress on equipment
- Dual-element time-delay design — distinguishes between temporary inrush and sustained overcurrent
- 600VAC/600VDC dual voltage rating — suitable for AC and DC systems
- 200kA AC interrupting rating; 20kA DC — meets UL 248-12 and CSA C22.2 No. 248.4 standards
- Rejection-style cartridge body — prevents installation errors
- 13/16″ × 5″ physical dimensions — standard cartridge fuse form factor
