Overview

The Mersen Amp-Trap® 2000® A2D-R fuse (SKU: A2D4-1/2R) offers Class RK1 time-delay protection for mains, feeders, and branch circuits, providing IEC Type 2 "no damage" protection for various loads. Engineered for reliability, these fuses are designed to open quickly under extreme fault conditions, safeguarding motor starters, switches, and other circuit components from damage. Their time-delay characteristic is crucial for handling harmless motor in-rush currents without nuisance tripping. This fuse is dual-rated for 250VAC and 250VDC applications, with an interrupting rating of 200kA AC and 100kA DC. The A2D-R series is current-limiting, offering low peak let-thru current and is recommended for Arc Flash energy reduction. Its rejection-style design, when used with recommended fuse blocks, prevents incorrect replacements, reducing inventory by replacing older Class H, K, or RK5 fuses. Features include a metal-embossed date and catalog number for traceability and a fiberglass body for dimensional stability in industrial settings. Approvals include UL listed to standard 248-12 (File E2137) and CSA certified to standard C22.2 No. 248.12. Applications include motors, safety switches, transformers, disconnects, control panels, and general-purpose circuits.
