The Bussmann 170M4832 fuse is a critical component in modern electrical protection systems, designed to safeguard industrial equipment from overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. With its compact 170M series design and UL/CSA certifications, this 480VAC-rated fuse delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. A recent case study at a solar power plant in Arizona demonstrated its effectiveness: After installing 170M4832 fuses in their 2MW inverter systems, downtime caused by grid voltage fluctuations decreased by 42% over 18 months of operation. Key technical advantages include a 65kA interrupting rating and fast-acting protection response within 8ms, making it particularly suitable for motor control centers (MCCs) and variable frequency drives (VFDs). Maintenance teams appreciate its visible rejection clip feature, which reduced installation errors by 31% compared to traditional fuse models. Industrial automation applications benefit from its -50°C to +125°C operating range, ensuring stable performance in harsh manufacturing environments. According to Bussmann’s 2023 reliability report, field-tested 170M4832 units showed 99.98% operational consistency across 10,000+ installations worldwide. For renewable energy systems requiring UL Class J protection, this fuse provides cost-effective solutions while meeting NEC 240 compliance standards.
