Overview

The Mersen 20316R is a 1-pole, 30 Ampere Class R fuse block engineered for 250VAC and 250VDC applications. This fuse block features screw terminals and reinforced clips for secure, reliable connections in industrial electrical systems. Designed for use with Class R fuses, it delivers a Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of up to 200kA when paired with compatible Class R fuses, ensuring robust fault protection. The fuse block incorporates copper box connectors and clips, optimized for copper wire only to match thermal expansion characteristics and prevent heat cycling issues. This design meets OEM specifications prohibiting aluminum use. The insulator material provides dielectric strength exceeding 2500V, ensuring electrical isolation and safety. The 20316R supports copper wire ranges from #10 to #14 AWG, making it suitable for panelboard and distribution applications requiring precise fuse protection. Recommended mounting screws for 30A fuse blocks are 1/4" diameter. For additional poles, use end barrier #U09361 to convert to multi-pole configurations.
