Overview

The Mersen A150C140-20 is a medium voltage capacitor fuse engineered for power correction and harmonic filtering systems. Rated at 1500VAC and 140A, this Amp-Trap® fuse delivers short circuit and overload protection to prevent capacitor case rupture or dielectric failure. Its current-limiting design ensures silent operation without noise or discharge, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications in weatherproof enclosures. This fuse features a visual indicator for blown-fuse status, allowing quick identification of faults. The A150C series provides a 40 kA symmetrical interrupting rating at 1500V AC, ensuring reliable protection in high-fault environments. The A150C140-20 model uses a male stud to L-bracket mounting configuration for direct installation, optimizing space and reducing costs. Note that this is a non-disconnecting fuse and requires a separate disconnect switch for safe operation. Manufactured by Mersen, a leader in electrical protection solutions, the A150C140-20 is designed for medium voltage capacitor applications where robust, maintenance-free operation is critical. Its compact design and high interrupting rating make it ideal for utility, industrial, and commercial power systems requiring dependable fault protection.
