[EATON]
Description:
Advanced protection, energy efficient Class RK5 dual element, current-limiting, time-delay fuses. Time-delay – 10 seconds (minimum) at 500% of rated current.
FEATUREs:
• Provides motor overload, ground fault and short-circuit protection. When used in circuits subject to surge currents such as those caused by motors, transformers and other inductive components, these fuses can be sized close to full-load amps to give maximum overcurrent protection
• The time-delay feature makes it possible to use fuse amp ratings which are much smaller than those of non-time delay fuses. Considerable cost saving occurs by permitting the use of smaller size switches, panels and fuses themselves
• Provides a good degree of short-circuit protection (greater current-limitation) to help protect downstream components from high fault currents
• Gives motor running back-up protection to motors without extra cost
• Helps protect motors against burnout from overloads and single-phasing when sized properly
• Simplifies and improves blackout prevention (selective coordination ratios)
• Dual-element fuses can be applied in circuits subject to temporary motor overloads and surge currents to provide both high-performance, short-circuit and overload protection
