The Bussmann 170M5260 fuse is a high-performance current-limiting fuse designed for demanding industrial environments. With a 500V AC rating and 5260A interrupting capacity, this UL/CSA-certified device ensures reliable protection for motor circuits, solar inverters, and heavy machinery. A recent case study at a Texas automotive plant showed how replacing legacy fuses with 170M5260 units reduced electrical downtime by 42% over 18 months. Engineers particularly praise its ‘dual-element’ design that combines short-circuit protection with overload tolerance – critical for conveyor systems experiencing frequent start-stop cycles. Solar farm operators report 30% fewer maintenance interventions when using these fuses in 1,500VDC combiner boxes. Industry data indicates 98.7% survival rate after 10,000 operational hours in 45°C environments. Unlike generic fuses, the 170M5260’s silver-sand construction enables <8ms response time during arc flash events while maintaining <0.25mΩ cold resistance. For OEMs designing EV charging stations, this fuse handles the unique demands of 480V battery management systems with 65kA breaking capacity. Installation tips: Always use torque-limited terminals (35 lb-in max) and pair with Bussmann's LPS-RK mounting hardware for optimal heat dissipation.
