Bussmann FRS-R-5 Class RK5 Fusetron fuse is designed to safeguard sensitive electrical equipment from short circuits and excessive currents.
Working Mechanism:
- If the overcurrent condition persists beyond a safe threshold, the fuse heats up due to the elevated current, triggering a time-delay mechanism. After a short period, the fuse element melts and opens the circuit, interrupting the current flow and safeguarding the system from damage.
Features:
- Bussmann FRS-R-5 Class RK5 fuse has interrupting capacity of 200kAIC at 600VAC and 20kAIC at 300VDC.
- It has a dual-element design and fibreglass body material contribute to its durability and safety.
- This Fusetron Series FRS-R-5 Class RK5 fuse allows to perform efficiently in a variety of settings, from motor circuits to control panels.
- It has a cylindrical body design to fits into fuse blocks with the rejection style to ensure a secure fit, minimising the risk of loose connections.
- This fuse has ferrule end connections that provide an enclosed connection to reduce the risk of accidental contact with live parts.
- It has an amperage rating of 5A.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the response time of Bussmann FRS-R-5 Class RK5 fuse?
A. 10 seconds at 500 per cent.
Q. What does Class RK5 mean in terms of fuse?
A. The Class RK5 designation indicates the time-delay characteristics of the fuse. It is designed to provide a delay before blowing when subjected to temporary overloads, making it suitable for applications like motor startups.
Q. What is the difference between fast-acting and time-delay fuses?
A. Fast-acting fuses blow quickly when subjected to overcurrents, while time-delay fuses provide a delay before blowing. This delay is particularly useful for accommodating temporary surges.
