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.
