Square Body Fuses
Bussmann’s Square Body DC Fuses are high speed fuses that provide superior protection in light and harsh DC traction applications as 1200Vdc and below circuits, and as DC link/power converters.
The square body DC fuses feature excellent DC performance and low arc voltage and low energy let-through. The fuses also feature low watts loss and superior cycling capability.
Typical applications for Bussmann’s square body DC fuses include: DC common bus, DC drives, power converters/rectifiers and reduced voltage starters.
Square body fuses are a reliable solution for high power applications which require a compact design with superior performance.
Bussmann’s square body fuses are available with a selection of different end fittings: DIN 43 653, DIN 43 620, Flush End (Metric/US), French Style and US Style. The square body fuses are available with three different open fuse indicator systems and the Bussmann offers a custom designed service to their customers.
All Bussmann square body fuses are tested to IEC 60269: Part 4, which requires a test voltage 5% higher than the rated voltage.
