SPP-6F700 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SPP-6F700 is a fuse link manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, rated for 700A at 700V operation. This component is classified as obsolete and requires a holder for installation. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and continued operational support where original inventory is depleted.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 170M5713 is identified based on the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: Both parts are rated for 700A operation
• Manufacturer: Both are manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, ensuring design consistency and quality standards
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8536.10.0040)
• Fuse Classification: Both are industrial-grade fuses designed for high-current electrical protection

The 170M5713 operates at 70 VAC with a square bolt mount configuration, representing a different mechanical form factor and voltage specification compared to the blade-type, 700V-rated SPP-6F700. Substitution requires verification that the installation environment and circuit design accommodate the alternative mounting type and voltage rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 170M5713 is an active product with current manufacturing support and regulatory certifications (CE, CSA, UR), whereas the SPP-6F700 is obsolete. Selection of the 170M5713 as a substitute requires confirmation that:

• The installation environment operates at or below 70 VAC (the substitute's voltage rating is significantly lower than the original 700V specification)
• The bolt mount configuration is compatible with existing installation infrastructure
• The square fuse form factor accommodates the available mounting space and holder design

The 170M5713 provides documented breaking capacity (200kA) and melting I²t characteristics (60500), enabling precise thermal and fault-current analysis for circuit protection validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 170M5713 directly replace the SPP-6F700 in all applications?

A: No. The voltage rating difference (70 VAC vs. 700V) and mounting type difference (bolt mount vs. blade holder) require circuit and installation compatibility verification before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the 700A current rating match?

A: The 700A rating indicates both fuses provide identical overcurrent protection thresholds. This is a primary substitution criterion for maintaining circuit protection integrity.

Q: Why is the SPP-6F700 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 170M5713, classified as active, represents the current product line alternative from the same manufacturer.

Q: What do the ECCN and HTSUS codes indicate?

A: Both codes confirm regulatory classification consistency. ECCN EAR99 indicates the fuse is not subject to export control restrictions. HTSUS 8536.10.0040 is the tariff classification for electrical fuses.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 170M5713 carries CE, CSA, and UR certifications and is RoHS compliant. The SPP-6F700 compliance documentation is not provided in available specifications.
