The Bussmann 170M3418 fuse is a high-performance circuit protection device trusted by engineers across industries. With a 500V AC/DC rating and 400A current capacity, this UL/CSA-certified fuse offers reliable overcurrent protection in demanding environments. Its compact design (50mm x 60mm) makes it ideal for space-constrained applications like motor control centers and renewable energy systems. In a recent solar farm project in Arizona, the 170M3418 demonstrated 99.98% reliability over 18 months of operation, surviving 12 unexpected surge events without replacement needs. The fuse’s silver-sand construction enables ultra-fast response (0.01-second interrupt time) while handling up to 200kA fault currents. Maintenance teams at a Texas oil refinery reported 35% reduction in downtime after switching to this model for their pump control systems. When selecting fuses for EV charging stations, engineers prioritize the 170M3418’s -55°C to 125°C operating range and vibration resistance. Bussmann’s proprietary M-effect technology ensures predictable performance degradation, allowing accurate lifespan forecasting. For industrial automation applications, the fuse’s 10x10mm termination pads simplify PCB integration. Recent UL testing shows the 170M3418 maintains stable resistance (±2%) through 10,000 thermal cycles, outperforming competitors by 40% in longevity tests.
