BUSSMANN 170M5715 High-Speed Semiconductor Protection Fuse – 170M Series
In high-power industrial environments, an unprotected semiconductor is a liability. When a fault current surges through a variable frequency drive, rectifier, or power converter without adequate overcurrent protection, the result is catastrophic: burned-out IGBTs, SCRs, or diodes that can take an entire production line offline for days. The BUSSMANN 170M5715 specialty fuse exists precisely to prevent this scenario — acting in microseconds to interrupt fault currents before irreversible damage occurs.
The 170M5715 is a flagship model within Eaton’s BUSSMANN 170M Series, one of the most trusted families of high-speed semiconductor fuses in global industrial automation. Engineered to IEC 60269-4 standards, this series is specified by OEMs and system integrators across Europe, Asia, and the Americas for protecting power electronics in demanding applications. Its ultra-fast clearing time and high breaking capacity make it the preferred choice wherever silicon devices must be safeguarded without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the voltage and current rating of the BUSSMANN 170M5715?
- A: The exact electrical ratings (voltage, current, breaking capacity) are specified in the official BUSSMANN 170M5715 datasheet. Please contact us at support@konmask.com to receive the full datasheet and confirm suitability for your application.
- Q: Is the 170M5715 an aR or gR class fuse?
- A: The BUSSMANN 170M Series fuses are classified as aR (current-limiting, semiconductor protection) per IEC 60269-4. They are designed exclusively for semiconductor protection and should not be used as general-purpose branch circuit fuses.
- Q: Can I use the 170M5715 to replace a different 170M Series part number?
- A: Cross-replacement within the 170M Series requires careful verification of voltage rating, current rating, physical dimensions, and I²t values. Contact our technical team for cross-reference assistance before substituting part numbers.
- Q: What fuse holder is compatible with the BUSSMANN 170M5715?
- A: The 170M5715 uses the standard blade/tag terminal configuration of the 170M Series. Compatible BUSSMANN 170H Series holders are typically used. Please confirm the exact holder model against the fuse dimensions in the datasheet.
