RES-60 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RES-60 is a Super Lag Renewable Fuse manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division. This component is classified as Obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for continued system support and procurement. The RES-60 operates at 60/600 electrical parameters and is RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 rating. Due to its obsolete status, the LPS-RK-60SP has been identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute to maintain functional equivalence in applications requiring 60A protection at 600VAC/300VDC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LPS-RK-60SP directly replace the RES-60 in existing installations?

A: The LPS-RK-60SP meets the core electrical parameters (60A, 600VAC) required for RES-60 substitution. However, the LPS-RK-60SP is a cartridge fuse requiring a holder, whereas the RES-60 is a renewable fuse. Installation compatibility depends on the existing fuse holder type in your circuit.

Q: What is the primary difference between the RES-60 and LPS-RK-60SP?

A: The RES-60 is a renewable fuse (obsolete), while the LPS-RK-60SP is a cartridge fuse (active). Both provide 60A protection at 600VAC. The LPS-RK-60SP additionally specifies 300VDC rating and RK1 class protection.

Q: Are there any compliance concerns when substituting the RES-60 with the LPS-RK-60SP?

A: Both parts are RoHS Compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.10.0040) classifications. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What mounting considerations apply to the LPS-RK-60SP?

A: The LPS-RK-60SP requires a cartridge fuse holder for installation. Verify that your existing circuit accommodates cartridge fuse holders before substitution.

Q: Is the LPS-RK-60SP suitable for motor and transformer protection applications?

A: Yes, the LPS-RK-60SP is specified for motor protection and transformer protection applications with RK1 class rating and slow-blow response characteristics.
