Merit Brass TRS8/10R Dual Element Fuse 8/10A 600V

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS TRS8/10R is a dual element, time delay fuse rated at 8/10 amp and 600 volts, classified under the RK5 fuse standard. Dual element construction provides both overload and short-circuit protection in a single device. The time delay characteristic allows temporary inrush currents, such as motor starting current, to pass without nuisance tripping while still providing reliable protection against sustained overloads and fault conditions. This fuse is installed by licensed electricians in branch circuit and feeder applications where RK5-class overcurrent protection is required.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial electrical systems where RK5-class time delay protection is specified. Typical applications include motor branch circuits, control circuits, and panelboard feeder protection. The 600-volt rating makes it appropriate for use in standard North American single-phase and three-phase distribution systems. Its low amp rating of 8/10 amp makes it a fit for small motor loads and sensitive control equipment that requires precise overcurrent protection.

Key Features

• Dual element design provides separate overload and short-circuit protection
• Time delay function accommodates motor inrush current without nuisance tripping
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard North American distribution systems
• RK5 classification ensures interchangeability with other RK5-rated fuse holders and blocks
• Low 8/10 amp rating designed for small motor and control circuit protection

Compatibility

Designed as an RK5-class replacement fuse for use in standard RK5-rated fuse holders, disconnect switches, and fuse blocks rated for 600 volts and up to 8/10 amp.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing the fuse. Verify that the fuse holder or fuse block is rated for RK5 class and matches the voltage and ampere ratings of this fuse. Do not replace a time delay fuse with a standard non-delay fuse, as this may result in nuisance tripping or inadequate overload protection.
