The Bussmann FRN‑R‑40 is a heavy‑duty, dual‑element, time‑delay, current‑limiting fuse engineered to provide superior overload and short‑circuit protection for industrial and commercial electrical systems. As part of the Bussmann Fusetron FRN‑R Series (Class RK5), this fuse is designed to handle the high inrush currents typical of motors, transformers, and inductive loads—without nuisance opening—while clearing dangerous faults quickly and safely.
With its high interrupt rating of 200 kA at 250 VAC, the FRN‑R‑40 exceeds the performance of standard fuses and is widely used in machinery disconnects, motor control centers, combination starters, HVAC equipment, and power panelboards.
Key Features
Dual‑element time‑delay design provides separate overload and short‑circuit protection for optimal system reliability.
Current‑limiting Class RK5 fuse reduces fault energy and protects downstream components.
Time‑delay rating:10‑second minimum at 500% of rated current (for 40A size).
Ferrule end × ferrule end cartridge configuration for standard RK5 fuse holders.
Non‑indicating type (no blown‑fuse window).
Energy‑efficient Fusetron technology—up to 23% more efficient than many competitive designs.
UL Listed and CSA Certified for wide industry acceptance.
