Mersen A70P150-4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What amp ratings does the Mersen A70P Amp-Trap high speed fuse come in?
The A70P Amp-Trap is offered in two ratings: 150A as part number A70P150-4, and 200A as part number A70P200-4. Both share the same 700VAC/650VDC rating and the same bolted blade terminal style, so the only thing you pick is the amperage.
2) Can I use the Mersen A70P fuse on a DC bus, or is it AC only?
Both. The A70P carries a dual rating of 700VAC and 650VDC, so it can be applied on AC distribution up to 700V or on DC circuits up to 650V, with 50/60 Hz operation on the AC side. That dual rating is why it shows up in drive and motor control work where a rectified DC link sits behind an AC supply.
3) Will a bolted blade fuse like the Mersen A70P fit my clip-style fuse holder?
No. The A70P uses bolted blade terminals, which mount with bolts through the blade into a bolted-type fuse block or busbar. It will not drop into a spring clip holder built for ferrule or midget fuses. If your holder is clip style, you want a cylindrical fuse such as the Littelfuse BLF Series midget fast-acting fuse or a Class CC like the Littelfuse CCMR, not a bolted blade high speed fuse.
4) What is the interrupting rating on the Mersen A70P200-4, and is it enough for a high fault-current panel?
The A70P200-4 is rated for a 50 kA breaking capacity, so it can clear fault currents up to that level in a 700VAC or 650VDC system. For a switchboard or motor control center with available fault current inside 50 kA, it is within rating; above that you need to look at a higher interrupting device.
5) Can a Littelfuse CCMR Class CC time-delay fuse be used in place of a Mersen A70P high speed fuse?
No. The Mersen A70P Amp-Trap is a high speed fuse rated 700VAC/650VDC with bolted blade terminals for fast fault clearing ahead of semiconductor and power conversion equipment. The Littelfuse CCMR040 is a Class CC time-delay fuse rated 40A, built to ride through motor inrush rather than clear a fault quickly, and it mounts in a Class CC rejection clip holder, not a bolted blade base. The two are different mounting styles and opposite time-current behavior, so they are not interchangeable.
6) Why would I specify a high speed fuse instead of a standard time-delay fuse?
High speed fuses like the A70P are built to clear a fault fast enough to protect semiconductors, rectifiers, and drive components that fail in milliseconds. A time-delay fuse, such as the Littelfuse CCMR Class CC, does the opposite on purpose, it rides through motor inrush without opening. Use time-delay ahead of a motor starter; use the A70P ahead of power electronics where fast clearing limits let-through energy.
7) What should I use for a low-amperage control or instrument circuit instead of the Mersen A70P?
The A70P is a 150A or 200A bolted blade high speed fuse for power circuits, far too large for control or metering duty. For a low-amperage circuit, the Littelfuse BLF series is a midget fast-acting fuse rated 250V in a laminated tube, and the Square D PowerLogic energy meter fuse pack supplies 0.5A 600V fuses in a set of three for metering inputs. Both use clip-style holders rather than the bolted blade mounting the A70P requires.
8) Is a Littelfuse AGU or AGA glass tube fuse a fast-acting equivalent to the Mersen A70P?
No. The Littelfuse AGU is an AG-series glass tube fuse and the AGA5 is a 5A AGA-series glass fuse, both small ferrule-style cartridges for low-voltage accessory and automotive-type circuits. The Mersen A70P Amp-Trap is a 700VAC/650VDC high speed fuse with tin-plated brass bolted blade terminals and a GMG body, intended for industrial power distribution and motor control. A glass tube fuse will not physically fit a bolted blade base and does not carry the A70P voltage rating.
9) What are the A70P fuse terminals and body made of?
Terminals are tin-plated brass, which gives a stable low-resistance bolted joint against copper bus. The body is GMG insulating material, chosen for dielectric strength and mechanical durability under repeated thermal cycling.
10) Is the Mersen Amp-Trap A70P RoHS compliant for a facility spec?
Yes, the A70P Amp-Trap is RoHS compliant. That is the compliance item stated for this fuse, and it is usually what a hospital, campus, or government procurement spec is asking about on a fuse submittal.
