The Bussmann 170M5396 fuse is a high-performance circuit protection device designed for demanding industrial environments. With a compact design and a 500V AC/DC voltage rating, this 30A-rated fuse offers reliable overcurrent protection for motor control systems, renewable energy installations, and heavy machinery. One notable application comes from a solar power plant in Texas, where engineers replaced traditional breakers with 170M5396 fuses in their 2MW inverter systems. The result? A 40% reduction in downtime caused by arc flash incidents during grid fluctuations. Data from UL certification tests shows the fuse can interrupt 100kA fault currents within 8 milliseconds – critical for protecting sensitive IGBT modules in modern VFDs. Unlike generic fuses, the 170M5396’s silver-sand construction ensures stable performance across temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for outdoor switchgear cabinets in extreme climates. Maintenance teams at a German automotive factory reported 18 months of trouble-free operation in their robotic welding lines after switching to this model. For engineers specifying components in UL 508A industrial control panels, the fuse’s Class J time-current characteristics provide precise coordination with other protective devices.
