170M7090

  170M7090 is a series of electrical specialty fuses and fuse accessories developed to meet the unique protection needs of equipment rated up to, and including 600 volts AC. This series is highly diverse, making it the ideal solution for replacing existing fuse accessories with a range of options that can provide enhanced performance and customizable protection. These fuse accessories enable electricians, engineers, circuit designers, and power systems consultants to tailor circuit protection and improve reliability.

  The 170M7090 series can be used in a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial power distribution, motor control circuits, industrial control panels, utility feeder circuits, and switchgear panels. These fuses feature high-melt current interrupting capacities, fast-acting fuse elements, and an optional Type NF rating for applications requiring current limiting protection. The 170M7090 series can also be used in any environment requiring service entrance, feeder, and branch circuit protection.

  The 170M7090 uses a three-piece construction, with an upper housing, middle spacer, and lower base. The fuse element is enclosed within the base and is secured by a fuse element retainer and fuse element strip. The upper housing and base are designed to allow for easy visual inspection and replacement of the fuse element. The spacer also serves as a convenient mounting bracket for installation onto electrical enclosures.

  When the current running through the circuit exceeds the specified limit of the fuse, the fuse element strips the electrical current in half to create a parallel electrical path. This way, all of the circuit’s current is redirected to a different point in the circuit. This protects the circuit from overcurrent and helps to minimize the chance of a circuit overload, short circuit, or an unintended electric arc.

  The 170M7090 also provides superior interrupting ratings. These rating are assigned at the factory and are based on actual testing standards. Also, the fuse is designed to be CSA certified, UL listed, and UL approved. This ensures that the fuse will operate as intended, increasing reliability, safety, and performance.

  All of the components of the 170M7090 series are designed to be durable and resistant to oxidation and shock. This ensures maximum temperature and life ratings, and the anti-pushout feature provides a secure connection to the bus. The fuse accessories are also designed to meet applicable UL, UL cUL, and CSA standards.

  The 170M7090 series is ideal for anyone looking for an economical yet reliable fuse accessory solution. Its diverse range of options make it the ideal replacement fuse accessory for existing systems requiring the highest level of protection. With its CSA certification, UL listing, and UL approved, you can be sure that the 170M7090 is your go-to fuse for all your circuit protection needs.
