Key Features

6 A Current Rating

Rated at 6 amperes, the FNQ-6 provides supplemental overcurrent protection for appropriately specified industrial electrical control circuits, motor control transformers and compatible equipment.

500 VAC Voltage Rating

Designed for compatible AC electrical circuits operating at or below the published maximum voltage rating of 500 VAC, including suitable control transformer circuits.

Time-Delay Operation

Its time-delay characteristic helps accommodate temporary inrush currents associated with motor control transformers and other compatible inductive loads. Fuse selection should follow the manufacturer's published time-current characteristics.

10 kA Interrupting Rating

Features a manufacturer-specified interrupting rating of 10,000 amperes at 500 VAC. The prospective short-circuit current at the installation must not exceed the fuse's applicable interrupting capacity.

Compact Midget Cartridge Format

Uses a cylindrical cartridge with nominal dimensions of 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length for installation in appropriately rated and dimensionally compatible midget fuse holders.

Non-Indicating Ferrule Design

Features a non-indicating construction with ferrule end connections. Eaton specifies nickel-plated bronze end caps for the FNQ-6, providing contact surfaces for compatible industrial fuse clips and holders.

Applications

Motor control transformer supplemental protection
Compatible 480 VAC control transformer primary circuits
Industrial AC control circuits with temporary inrush currents
Industrial machinery electrical control panels
Electrical equipment requiring a 6 A time-delay fuse
Compatible lighting and metering control circuits
Compatible DIN-rail midget fuse holders and fuse blocks
Industrial equipment maintenance and specified fuse replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bussmann FNQ-6?
It is a 6 A, 500 VAC time-delay midget cartridge fuse from the Eaton Bussmann FNQ series, intended for supplemental overcurrent protection in compatible industrial control circuits.

Who manufactures FNQ-6?
FNQ-6 is part of the Eaton Bussmann fuse range. Its manufacturer catalog number is FNQ-6.

What is the rated current?
The rated current is 6 amperes, equivalent to 6000 milliamperes.

What is the AC voltage rating?
The published maximum AC voltage rating is 500 VAC. The circuit voltage must remain within the fuse's applicable voltage rating.

Is FNQ-6 a fast-acting fuse?
No. FNQ-6 is a time-delay fuse intended for compatible circuits where temporary inrush currents may occur. Its suitability should be evaluated using the manufacturer's published time-current characteristics.

What is the interrupting rating at 500 VAC?
Eaton specifies an interrupting rating of 10 kA at 500 VAC for FNQ-6, equivalent to 10,000 amperes.

What are the physical dimensions?
The nominal dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length, approximately 13/32 inch by 1-1/2 inches.

Does FNQ-6 have a blown-fuse indicator?
No. The standard FNQ-6 is a non-indicating cartridge fuse.

What materials and terminals does FNQ-6 use?
Eaton's FNQ-6 product specification identifies nickel-plated bronze end caps and ferrule-to-ferrule connections. The fuse is designed for use with appropriately rated and compatible cartridge fuse holders.

Can FNQ-6 replace an FNQ-R-6 fuse?
Do not assume the two models are interchangeable. FNQ-6 is a 500 VAC supplemental fuse with a 10 kA interrupting rating, whereas FNQ-R-6 belongs to the 600 VAC Class CC fuse series with different protection classifications and installation requirements.

Can FNQ-6 be used for branch-circuit protection?
FNQ-6 is intended for supplemental overcurrent protection. Applications requiring branch-circuit protection must use an appropriately classified protective device with a suitable interrupting rating.

What should be verified before ordering?
Confirm the exact FNQ-6 model number, 6 A current rating, 500 VAC voltage rating, 10 kA interrupting rating, time-delay characteristics, cartridge dimensions and fuse-holder compatibility. Consult Eaton Bussmann FNQ Technical Data 1012 for application specifications.
