Tri-onic® Class RK5 Fuses Featuring SmartSpotâ„¢ Now Available
Industry’s Most Popular Overcurrent Protection Includes Innovative, Timesaving Open-Fuse Indicator
NEWBURYPORT, Mass., February 24, 2003— Ferraz Shawmut, a global leader in the field of circuit protection, recently announced the availability of its Tri-onic Class RK5 TR and TRS fuses featuring the patented SmartSpot open-fuse indicator. The popular Tri-onic Class RK5 current-limiting time delay fuses have provided trusted overcurrent protection for motors and transformers, service entrance equipment, and feeders and branch circuits for many years. With the addition of SmartSpot — Ferraz Shawmut’s next-generation open-fuse indicator — the Tri-onic line is now even better than before.
While SmartSpot helps to reduce downtime, Tri-onic’s time delay feature safely handles harmless transformer and motor in-rush currents to minimize nuisance openings and maximize uptime. The fuse’s current-limiting capabilities prevent damage to critical system components under short circuit conditions, further reducing downtime and eliminating the need for costly, time-consuming repairs.
