DiversiTech 7-CRNR45 – 45A Class RK5 Dual Element Time Delay Fuse
The DiversiTech 7-CRNR45 is a 45-amp, 250V dual-element time delay fuse designed for overcurrent protection in HVAC and other inductive load applications. Classified as a UL-listed Class RK5 fuse, this component is suitable for safeguarding motors, transformers, and branch circuits from short circuits and overload conditions, especially where temporary current surges are expected during equipment startup.
This fuse offers a time-delay characteristic that permits brief overcurrent conditions without nuisance tripping, allowing normal equipment operation while still providing protection during sustained faults. Its high interrupting capacity of 200,000 amps AC ensures safe performance in circuits subject to significant fault current.
