Key Specifications

• Amperage: 30A
• Voltage: 600V
• Part number: FVK461RG

Why this fusible bus plug matters

In electrical systems, the right fusible bus plug is mission-critical for preventing overloads and enabling timely maintenance. The FVK461RG is engineered to integrate seamlessly with GE equipment, delivering predictable performance under load and during protective-fuse operation. Its exact amperage and voltage ratings help minimize nuisance trips and ensure consistent protection for downstream devices and circuits.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance: Replace aging or worn fusible bus plugs to restore full protection and reliability.
• Retrofit: Update or upgrade gear to ensure compatibility with GE-protected bus architectures at 30A/600V.
• Replacement part: Keep on hand as a ready-to-install component to minimize downtime during outages or inspections.

Compatibility and fit

The FVK461RG is purpose-built for GE equipment and should be matched to systems with identical ratings and bus-plug geometries. Always verify fit and ratings before ordering. The part number FVK461RG serves as the strongest compatibility reference for GE installations.

Installation and safety considerations

1. Power down the equipment and lockout/tag out the circuit before handling the bus plug.
2. Inspect the bus plug and surrounding connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage; replace any compromised components.
3. Confirm that the system’s amperage and voltage align with 30A and 600V ratings, and verify mechanical fit within the GE bus assembly.
4. Install the fusible bus plug according to GE guidelines, ensuring secure electrical contact and proper seating to prevent arcing or hot spots.
5. After installation, re-energize the system and perform a functional check to confirm protective operation and stable performance.

Why choose this GE part over generic options

Generic substitutes may lack the precise GE-spec compatibility that critical protection requires. The FVK461RG provides:

• Guaranteed alignment with GE bus architectures and system expectations
• Defined 30A, 600V ratings to match your protective-device strategy
• Reliability from a trusted manufacturer with product-traceable compatibility information

Practical tips for best results

• Maintain a small inventory of essential GE spare parts like the FVK461RG to reduce downtime during scheduled maintenance or unexpected outages.
• Document the exact part number and system ratings in your maintenance logs to streamline future replacements or retrofits.
• Store spare bus plugs in a clean, dry environment to preserve terminal integrity and performance.
