Overview

The Mersen A051B2DHR0-18R is a critical component for the short-circuit protection of medium voltage motors and motor control centers (MCCs). This R-Rated Amp-Trap® fuse operates at 5.08kV (5080VAC) and is designed as a back-up fuse, meaning it must be coordinated with overload relays within combination motor starters, a specification typically determined by the motor starter manufacturer. Engineered for current limitation, it provides superior protection for sensitive medium voltage equipment by rapidly clearing fault currents. The A051B2DHR0-18R features a DHR0 style, a single barrel design with a 3-inch diameter and end mounts, facilitating direct bolting to bus or terminal pads for secure installation. Its 18R size designation corresponds to a continuous amp rating of 390A at 40°C and a rated minimum interrupting current of 1500A. This fuse includes a visual indicator for positive identification of an open fuse, offering a tripped force of 0.44 inches. Manufactured in the USA, it holds UL Component Recognition. Key specifications include a maximum interrupting rating of 50kA at 5.08kV RMS symmetrical. The overall dimensions are 15.88 inches (403.2mm) in length. This fuse is essential for maintaining the reliable operation and safety of medium voltage electrical systems, particularly in MCC applications where precise coordination is paramount. Its UNSPSC code is 39121626.
