Overview
The Shawmut TRS90R is a Class RK5 dual-element time delay fuse from the Tri-Onic product line. Rated for 90 amps at 600 volts AC/DC with a 200 kiloampere interrupting rating (AC) and 100 kiloampere (DC), this fuse provides current-limiting overcurrent protection for industrial motor circuits, transformers, feeders, and service entrance equipment. The TRS90R features rejection-style blade terminals that prevent incorrect fuse replacement, reducing field assembly errors on standard rejection-style fuse blocks.
Key Features
- Dual-element time delay design handles harmless starting and inrush currents typical of motors and transformers
- Class RK5 current-limiting fuse reduces let-through current and thermal stress on downstream equipment
- 600V AC and 600V DC rated—versatile for both AC and DC circuit applications
- Rejection-style blade terminal eliminates interchangeability errors
- UL 198L, UL 248-12, and CSA C22.2 certified for code compliance
- Fiberglass tube construction for reliable arc suppression
