Overview

The Mersen 60608R is a 60A, 3-pole Class R fuse block designed for 600VAC/DC applications. The reinforced tin-plated copper fuse clips ensure high conductivity and durability, while the molded glass-filled polycarbonate (GFPC) or phenolic insulator delivers dielectric strength exceeding 2500V. The 3-pole design supports multipole configurations via snap-on adder blocks, enabling flexible segmented installations. Compatible with stranded or solid copper/aluminum wire, the 60608R features box connectors with torque ratings up to 610 in-lb for secure terminations. With a Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of 200kA when paired with Class R fuses, this fuse block is ideal for motor control centers, panelboards, and industrial power distribution applications. The reinforced clip design ensures consistent contact and reduced heat generation, enhancing system reliability. Part of Mersen's Class H, K, and R fuse block series, the 60608R is engineered for high-performance industrial environments where safety and durability are critical.
