NON -60 CLASS K5 FUSE BUSSMANN

NON -60 CLASS K5 FUSE BUSSMANN – Industrial 60A 250VAC/125VDC General-Purpose One-Time Fuse

The NON -60 CLASS K5 FUSE BUSSMANN (Model NON-60) is an industrial-grade, general-purpose non-time-delay power fuse manufactured by Eaton’s Bussmann series. Engineered specifically to provide basic overcurrent and short-circuit protection for lighting systems, heating circuits, non-inductive loads, and general electrical branch circuits, this $60text{-amp}$ , $250text{ VAC} / 125text{ VDC}$ fuse delivers reliable circuit protection across commercial and industrial distribution panels.

Featuring a fast-acting one-time response profile, the NON -60 CLASS K5 FUSE BUSSMANN opens quickly under short-circuit and continuous thermal overload conditions to safeguard connected equipment and conductors. It provides an interrupting rating of $50text{ kA RMS}$ Symmetrical at $250text{ VAC}$ and $50text{ kA}$ at $125text{ VDC}$ . Constructed in a standard UL Class K5 ferrule body format ( $13/16'' times 3''$ ), this fuse fits into standard 250V Class H and Class K fuse blocks and safety switches.

Key Features of the NON -60 CLASS K5 FUSE BUSSMANN

Basic General-Purpose Protection: Designed for non-inductive loads where high motor-inrush current withstand is not required, providing economical overcurrent protection.
Dual Voltage Operation: Rated for continuous service at $250text{ VAC}$ and $125text{ VDC}$ , making it suitable for both AC distribution and DC auxiliary networks.
50kA Interrupting Rating: Safely interrupts available fault currents up to $50text{ kA RMS}$ Symmetrical at $250text{ VAC}$ and $50text{ kA}$ at $125text{ VDC}$ .
Standard Ferrule Dimensions: Standardized $13/16text{ inch} times 3text{ inch}$ ( $20.6 times 76.2text{ mm}$ ) body dimensions ensure broad compatibility across standard 250V fuse clips.
Economical One-Time Design: Provides a cost-effective solution for main panel feeds, lighting disconnects, and resistance-heating circuits.
Durable Construction: Built with high-strength composite tube housing capped with heavy-duty copper/brass ferrule ends for optimal conductivity.

Common Applications and Practical Usage

The straightforward fast-acting response, $60text{A}$ rating, and physical ferrule footprint of the NON -60 CLASS K5 FUSE BUSSMANN make it widely used across general industrial installations:

Commercial & Industrial Lighting: Protects branch circuits supplying high-density fluorescent, LED, and incandescent lighting panels.
Electric Resistance Heating: Safeguards electric duct heaters, baseboard heaters, and industrial process heating elements.
General Distribution Panelboards: Provides primary or secondary overcurrent protection in general 250V switchboards, panelboards, and disconnect switches.
Non-Inductive Electrical Loads: Ideal for resistive loads where high startup inrush currents are absent.

Operating Guidelines and Usage Tips

SAFETY NOTICE: Always isolate main power sources and verify circuits are fully de-energized using a calibrated voltage tester prior to inspecting or replacing power fuses.

Holder Compatibility: Install in standard 250V ferrule fuse blocks or safety disconnect switches (such as Bussmann H250 series holders).

Application Caution: For motor branch circuits or inductive transformer loads with high inrush currents, consider using time-delay fuses (such as Bussmann Fusetron FRN-R series) to avoid nuisance opening during startup.

To review official low-voltage fuse standards and Class K5 protection requirements, consult the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Directory.
