The BP/FRN‑R‑100 FUSETRON® Time‑Delay Cartridge Fuse from Bussmann Corporation is a high‑capacity overcurrent protection device engineered for industrial and commercial electrical systems requiring reliable performance under heavy load conditions. Designed within the proven FUSETRON® FRN‑R series, this Class RK5 fuse delivers dependable protection for circuits subject to high inrush currents, temporary overloads, and severe fault conditions.
Rated at 100 amps and 250 volts AC, the BP/FRN‑R‑100 features a dual‑element, time‑delay construction that allows brief startup surges—common with motors, transformers, and inductive equipment—without nuisance opening. At the same time, it provides fast‑acting, current‑limiting response to short circuits, helping to reduce let‑through energy and protect downstream components from extensive damage.
The Class RK5 rejection‑type design enhances electrical safety by preventing the installation of lower‑rated or physically incompatible fuses when used with appropriate Class R fuse holders. With its high interrupting rating and rugged cartridge construction, the BP/FRN‑R‑100 is well suited for use in power distribution equipment, industrial control systems, and large motor circuits where dependable fault protection is essential.
