Overview

The Mersen A072F1D0R0-12R is a back-up R-Rated medium voltage fuse designed for short circuit protection of medium voltage motors and motor controllers. This current-limiting fuse operates at 7200V AC with a 12R rating and features a 3-inch diameter barrel with ferrule mounting for direct connection to equipment bus or terminal pads. The fuse is UL Recognized and provides a minimum interrupting rating of 50kA RMS symmetrical at 7.2kV, ensuring superior equipment protection in motor control centers (MCCs). Key specifications include a continuous amp rating of 230A at 40°C, a minimum interrupting current of 955A RMS, and a tripped force indicator requiring 1 lb of force. The fuse is designed for coordination with overload relays in combination motor starters, as specified by motor starter manufacturers. Available in single, double, triple, or quadruple barrel configurations, the A072F1D0R0-12R is optimized for use in MCCs from multiple manufacturers and is ideal for replacement in existing installations. The metal embossed catalog number and manufacturing date ensure lasting identification and traceability.
