Overview

The Mersen 60655R is a 60 Ampere, 600 Volt AC/DC Class R fuse block designed for reliable circuit protection. This specific model features copper box connectors, ideal for copper wires ranging from #4 to #14 AWG. It is constructed with a GFPC (Glass-Filled Polycarbonate) insulator, ensuring robust dielectric strength exceeding 2500V. The 60655R is part of Mersen's comprehensive line of Class H, K, and R fuse blocks, which accommodate all Class H, K, and R 250 and 600V power fuses. A key feature of Mersen's 30, 60, and 100A fuse blocks, including this 60A model, is the unique adder block capability. This adder block can be snapped onto 1-, 2-, or 3-pole blocks to create custom multipole segmented blocks, allowing for flexible configuration of as many poles as required. All fuse clips are made of high-conductivity tin-plated copper. For 60A applications, this fuse block utilizes spring-reinforced clips for secure contact. The copper box connectors are specifically designed with the same coefficient of expansion as copper wire, enhancing heat cycling performance and meeting or exceeding OEM 'no aluminum' specifications. This ensures optimal thermal management and longevity in demanding electrical installations. The recommended mounting screws for this 60A fuse block are 1/4" (.250" dia.).
