Overview

The Mersen SKU 20608R is a 3-pole fuse block engineered for Class R 250VAC/DC and 600VAC applications, specifically designed to accommodate Class R power fuses. Constructed with high-conductivity tin-plated copper fuse clips reinforced by springs, this fuse block ensures consistent contact and reliable performance under demanding conditions. The insulator is made from phenolic material, which has been verified to exceed 2500V dielectric strength, providing enhanced safety in high-voltage electrical systems. This fuse block carries a voltage rating of 250VAC/DC and 600VAC/DC, with a continuous current rating of 60A. When paired with Class R fuses, it delivers a Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of 200kA, offering robust protection against fault conditions. The box connector design supports a broad range of wire types, including stranded or solid copper or aluminum conductors, ensuring versatility in installation. Mersen’s Class H, K, and R fuse blocks comply with UL 4248 standards and hold UL listing under guide IZLT with file E52283, as well as CSA certification under class 6225 with file 32169. The adder block design enables seamless expansion into multi-pole segmented configurations, allowing for flexible system configurations. This product is manufactured in the United States.
