Overview

The Mersen A055F1C0R0-5E is a medium-voltage E-Rated fuse engineered for critical protection of transformers and distribution lines. This Amp-Trap® fuse, part of the C0R0 Series, operates at 5500VAC and is rated for 5A. It provides essential overload and short-circuit protection through reliable current-limiting performance. Designed to melt at currents as low as 1.7 times its rated value, it ensures rapid fault response while effectively withstanding transformer magnetizing inrush currents. The integrated visual indicator offers straightforward status verification, simplifying maintenance and operational checks. This ferrule-type fuse is available in standard barrel diameters including 2" (size C), 3" (size D), and 2x3" (size DD). It is specifically designed for secure mounting in spring-reinforced clips, ensuring stable and reliable connections in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured in the US, the A055F1C0R0-5E meets stringent industrial standards for safety and reliability. Its primary applications include protecting transformers, switchgear, and various distribution systems within medium-voltage electrical infrastructure.
