Introduction

The 170M6691 is a miniature, fast-acting, specialty fuse designed and manufactured by Bussmann, a division of Eaton Corporation. The fuse features unique construction and features that improve performance and make it suitable for applications in the highly competitive illumination and lighting fixtures market.

Application Field

The 170M6691 specialty fuse is designed to meet the wide variety of wattage needs required in the illumination and lighting fixtures market. Its design allows it to be used in applications such as HID lighting, recessed fixtures, surface mount fixtures, emergency lighting, floodlights, exit signs, landscape lighting, panel boards, and grounding systems.

The 170M6691 has an industrial current rating of up to 20A, which is suitable for use in a variety of commercial applications with a voltage rating of up to 277V. The fuse is also compatible with a UL-certified temperature rating of -30°C to 85°C. This wide operating temperature range makes the 170M6691 suitable for outdoor lighting fixtures in extreme climates.

Working Principle

The 170M6691 is an electrical fuse that operates on the simple principle of “thermal-magnetic action.” This means that when the fuse is subjected to a predetermined amount of current, the temperature of the fuse wire will rise, resulting in a magnetic field that will magnetically open the contacts of the fuse and cut the power to the circuit.

The 170M6691 is a category of specialty fuses that are designed to open circuits when exposed to high levels of current. Specialty fuses are made of different materials and construction than standard fuses and are often designed to operate within specialized applications, like illumination and lighting fixtures. The 170M6691 fuse offers a higher level of durability and protection compared to standard fuses, thanks to its special construction.
