FRS-R-17.5 - 17.5 Amp Fuse

FRS-R-17.5 - 17.5 Amp Fuse

Built to deliver dependable protection in challenging electrical environments, the FRS‑R‑17.5 fuse offers a high‑performance solution when space is tight and durability is essential. Designed for industrial and commercial panels, it features a compact 5 in. height and weighs just 0.81 lb, so it fits into smaller enclosures without sacrificing capability. With a 0.5 A time‑delay, current‑limiting Class R fuse built into the FRS‑R frame, this unit excels at handling short startup surges and overloads without unnecessary trips—giving you secure, smooth system operation you can count on.

Key Features and Benefits

• Cartridge style & non‑indicating design: Simplifies installation and panel integration while minimizing visual distractions.
• Time‑delay fuse element: Permits brief inrush currents (such as motor start‑ups) without tripping, while still protecting against sustained overloads.
• Current‑limiting Class R construction: Helps shield connected devices and system wiring from fault currents, enhancing overall equipment protection.
• Compact and lightweight form factor: At only 5.0 inches tall and under a pound in weight, it’s ideal for constrained panel space or retrofit situations.
• High fault‑current capacity: Rated to handle 200 kA at 600 V AC, giving you the peace of mind that your protection device won’t be the weak link during high‑fault events.
