Overview

The Mersen A072B1DAR0-4R is a critical component for medium voltage motor protection, specifically designed as a back-up, current-limiting R-Rated fuse. This fuse is intended for the short-circuit protection of medium voltage motors and motor controllers, ensuring robust safety and operational continuity. Operating at 7.2kV AC with a continuous amp rating of 130A at 40°C, this fuse offers a minimum interrupting rating of 330 RMS Amps. It features a 3-inch diameter barrel with a single barrel configuration (Figure A) and is equipped with a visual indicator for positive identification of an open fuse, providing a tripped force of 1 lb. The DAR0 style mounting is designed for bolting directly to equipment bus or terminal pads, facilitating secure mechanical connections within motor control centers (MCCs) and other blast-proof equipment. UL Recognized (File E93367 and File E191980), this fuse meets stringent safety and performance standards, with a maximum interrupting rating of 65kA at 7.2kV and 65kA at 7.7kV. The R-Rating signifies that the fuse will melt in the range of 15 to 35 seconds at 100 times its 'R' rating, a key characteristic for coordination with overload relays in combination motor starters. Mersen's commitment to quality is evident in the metal embossed catalog number and manufacturing date for lasting identification. This fuse is essential for replacement in MCCs from numerous manufacturers, providing reliable protection against damaging short circuits. Its current-limiting capability ensures superior equipment protection by rapidly reducing fault current magnitudes. The A072B1DAR0-4R is proudly manufactured in the USA.
