The Wacker Neuson Fuse Time Delay, 5A, 250V, 5 x 20mm is a genuine OEM component designed for the HI260 and HI1000 indirect air heater series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fuse matches the exact electrical rating specified for these heaters, ensuring it seats and performs correctly in the original fuse holder without modification. It covers a broad range of HI1000 configurations including gas, diesel, and DGM variants, as well as HI260 oil heater models. When it's time to restore your heater's electrical protection, is the correct part to reach for.
Key Features
- Correct Electrical Rating for the Application — Rated at 5A, 250V in the 5 x 20mm form factor, matching the precise overcurrent protection spec required by these heater control circuits.
- Genuine OEM Part — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact specifications, so you're restoring the heater's electrical system to its original design intent.
- Drop-In Replacement — The 5 x 20mm glass fuse format fits directly into the existing fuse holder on compatible HI260 and HI1000 models with no adapter or modification needed.
- Broad HI Series Compatibility — Fits multiple HI1000 configurations (gas, diesel, DGM with electric break, and DGM with surge brake) plus HI260 oil heater models, making it a practical stock item for fleets running multiple heater units.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — A correctly rated time delay fuse is a critical safety component in heater control circuits; using the specified 5A fuse helps prevent nuisance tripping during inrush while still protecting against sustained overcurrent faults.
A time delay fuse protects the electrical control circuit of an indirect air heater by allowing brief, harmless inrush current spikes — such as those that occur at startup — to pass without tripping, while still blowing quickly if a true overcurrent fault develops. In heating equipment like the HI260 and HI1000 series, this fuse sits between the power supply and sensitive control components, acting as the last line of defense against wiring faults or component failures that could otherwise cause damage or create a hazard. A blown fuse will shut the heater down entirely, so having the correct replacement on hand — with the right amperage and time delay characteristics — gets the unit back online without compromising the protection it was designed to provide.
