Mersen A2D-R Amp-Trap 2000 Class RK1 Time-Delay Fuse
The Mersen A2D-R Amp-Trap 2000® is a Class RK1 time-delay fuse rated 250VAC / 250VDC, engineered to deliver IEC Type 2 "no damage" protection to mains, feeders, and branch circuits serving both motor and non-motor loads. Featuring Mersen's SmartSpot® visual indication system, this fuse opens fast under extreme fault conditions for maximum short-circuit protection while still providing the time-delay characteristic needed to ride through motor and transformer inrush current. It is built as a direct upgrade path for facilities still running older 250V Class H, K, or RK5 fuses, combining a rugged PolyTube body with tin-plated copper connection terminals for long-term reliability.
Key Features
- Fuse Class: Class RK1 construction for reliable, code-compliant short-circuit and overload protection.
- Time-Delay Characteristic: Speed/characteristic rated Time Delay to withstand motor and transformer inrush current without nuisance opening.
- Dual Voltage Rating: UL-rated 250V AC and 250V DC for use on both AC and DC circuits.
- SmartSpot® Indication: Built-in blown-fuse indication system simplifies troubleshooting and reduces downtime.
- High Interrupting Rating: 200 kA AC maximum interrupt rating / breaking capacity (I1) for demanding fault-current environments.
- Durable Construction: PolyTube body/insulating material paired with tin-plated copper connection/terminal material for long-term reliability.
- Mounting: Clip-mount design for straightforward installation into standard fuse clips.
- Frequency Rating: Rated for 50/60 Hz electrical systems.
