In today’s industrial automation landscape, circuit protection devices play a critical role in maintaining operational continuity. The Bussmann 170M3162 fuse stands out as a robust solution for medium-voltage applications, combining precision engineering with real-world durability. Designed for 500VAC/250VDC systems, this 170M series fuse offers 160A interrupting capacity, making it ideal for motor control centers and power distribution panels. What sets the 170M3162 apart is its time-delay characteristic, allowing temporary current surges (common in motor startups) without unnecessary tripping while maintaining reliable protection against sustained overloads. A recent case study from a steel processing plant showed 63% reduction in unplanned downtime after upgrading to this fuse series. Certified to UL 248-10 and IEC 60269 standards, it operates reliably across -50°C to +125°C temperatures. Maintenance teams particularly appreciate its visible striker pin indicator, enabling quick fault identification during troubleshooting. With over 1.2 million units deployed globally since 2018, the 170M3162 has become the go-to choice for OEMs in CNC machinery and renewable energy systems. Its compact 30mm diameter design simplifies retrofitting in existing panels while maintaining 100kA breaking capacity. For facilities prioritizing equipment longevity and safety compliance, this Bussmann solution delivers measurable ROI through reduced maintenance costs and enhanced system reliability.
