Overview

The Mersen Amp-Trap® A055C2D0R0-500E is a medium-voltage E-rated fuse designed for overload and short-circuit protection in transformers and distribution lines. Rated at 5500VAC and 500A, this general-purpose current-limiting fuse melts at currents as low as 1.7 times its rated value while withstanding transformer magnetizing inrush current. The Clip-lock Series D0R0 fuse features a 3-inch diameter (size D) and mounts in unique cam-locking clips for superior connections, easy installation, and quick replacement. Available in single, double, or triple barrel configurations, these fuses provide reliable protection in industrial and utility applications. The fuse includes a visual indicator for immediate fault identification. Manufactured in the US, the Amp-Trap® series is a trusted solution for critical electrical systems requiring precise fault interruption and long-term durability. Ideal for transformer primary protection, motor circuits, and distribution feeders.
