The Bussmann FRS-R-250 is a 250 amp, 250-volt dual-element time-delay fuse designed for robust circuit protection. Part of the renowned FUSETRON series, it safely handles temporary overloads (like motor startups) while providing a quick response to dangerous short-circuits. Its 200,000-amp interrupting rating ensures safety in high-fault environments.
Detailed Product Description
Reliable Overload & Short-Circuit Protection for Demanding Applications
The Bussmann FRS-R-250 FUSETRON fuse is a premium industrial-grade fuse engineered for superior circuit protection where both overload and high fault currents are a concern. This 250-amp, 250-volt fuse is the ideal solution for safeguarding motors, feeders, and branch circuits in industrial, commercial, and utility settings.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Dual-Element, Time-Delay Design:Â The fuse incorporates two precise-acting elements. One provides a intentional time-delay, allowing it to withstand harmless temporary inrush currents (like those from motor startups or transformer energization) without nuisance blowing. The second element acts instantaneously to clear dangerous short-circuit faults.
-
High Interrupting Rating (200,000 AIC):Â With an Interrupting Rating of 200,000 amps RMS symmetrical, this fuse can safely interrupt extremely high fault currents, preventing damage to equipment and ensuring personnel safety in the event of a severe short-circuit.
-
Class RK5 Fuse:Â The FRS-R-250 meets the Class RK5 standard, indicating a high degree of current limitation and a 250-volt AC rating. It is a direct physical and electrical replacement for many older RK5 fuses.
-
Vibration & Fatigue Resistant:Â Unlike thermal circuit breakers that can be sensitive to vibration, the fuse’s sealed construction ensures reliable operation in harsh environments.
-
Space Saving:Â Provides a high level of protection in a compact form factor, making it an excellent choice for panelboards and disconnect switches.
Common Applications:
-
Motor Circuit Protection:Â Ideal for protecting motors and their associated wiring from overloads and short circuits.
-
Feeder and Branch Circuits:Â Used as a main or branch fuse in panelboards and switchboards.
-
Industrial Control Panels:Â Protects transformers, power supplies, and heavy machinery.
