Anyone know of a chart or something that explains types of fuses and thier letter designations? Such as a FLSR 100, or FLNR, or FNR. And also, what the type means, like RK5? Just trying to further my knowledge, any help is appriciated.
Thanks

brandon2177k,
Follow this link , it might show you what your looking for, or you could contact them to see if they have a chart / table of some sort available.

Most electrical distributors carry charts for cross referencing fuses from the various manufacturers too,they could probably help. You might check Lowes & Home Depot in the electrical aisle or at the customer service desk.

Is the best link to determine your question.
Bussmann no longer has available online the SPD for free.
The FLNR is a 250volt Class RK-5 (determined by UL), FLSR 600volt RK-5 fuse.
FLNR=FRNR. They are considered Dual Element, Time Delay, Current Limiting fuses.
The upgrade to that is the Class RK-1 (LPN-RK, LPS-RK) fuses for faster action, within the Short-Circuit range, to reduce Arc Flash and provide greater protection to downstream components.
The RK-5 were 1st introduced in 1950ish.
The R, within the RK-5 means Rejection feature, which buys you "Branch Circuit Protection" to use within a Branch circuit and an AIC of 200,000 amps (Fault Current Available). This is a general purpose fuse for most applications sized at 125-150% of the FLA of the circuit.
Just my $.02
 
If you deal with almost any manufacturer or distribituter in a professional fasion and they beleive they can derive money from you, you can get any cross referencing material you want for only asking. And what you're asking for is cross referencing stuff.

The reason they'll give you the material you need is two things. One, they like you, most important. Two, they know that you need a place to buy this stuff, that can be them.

When you make connections in the industry, usually, everybody benefits.

For you and the distributors, it's usually a win, win situation. Just view it like that and remain somewhat humble and you'll see what I mean.

Actually, it is all still there, but perhaps not via a single download. If you download the 18 sections separately by putting 01 thru 18 in where I have 01, you can get the entire booklet.
That's the old 2002 SPD, which the information is still valuable, however not current to the 2005.
Just my $.02
