Bussmann 170M5460 Fuse

The Bussmann 170M5460 is a high-speed, square-body fuse from Eaton’s Bussmann protection line, engineered to shield heavy-current industrial circuits and power distribution equipment by delivering fast, predictable interruption of fault currents while occupying a compact footprint that fits standard Bussmann fuse holders and panel arrangements. Specifically, the 170M5460 is rated for 500 A and supports a voltage rating of 690 VAC (700 V DC); it uses a size-2 end configuration (2BKN) and carries UL recognition (AR UC), reflecting compatibility with common industrial safety and installation practices. Typical applications include feeders, motor drives, and large industrial controllers where reliable protection at high current is essential, and, as part of the 170M family, it provides a robust balance of fast interruption, rugged construction, and a form factor that integrates with standard Bussmann accessories in demanding environments. Manufacturers commonly pair this fuse with Bussmann fuse blocks and holders designed for size 2 fuses, enabling straightforward installation in control panels and power distribution cabinets.
