Overview

The Mersen A2K20R Amp-Trap® Class RK1 fuse (SKU: A2K20R) provides critical short-circuit protection for industrial systems with high available fault currents. Rated for 250VAC and 250VDC at 20A, this fast-acting fuse limits peak let-thru current to safeguard sensitive downstream equipment from damage. Its fiberglass body ensures dimensional stability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions, including high temperatures and mechanical stress. The rejection-style design prevents incorrect fuse installations, reducing the risk of misapplication and enhancing system safety. Key specifications include a 200kA AC and 20kA DC interrupting rating, making it ideal for branch and feeder circuits, panelboards, switchboards, and bus duct systems. It is also suitable for non-inductive loads and lighting circuits, providing reliable protection in a wide range of applications. The fuse features an easy-to-read imprint label for quick identification and replacement, streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime. 248.12 standards, ensuring compliance with North American safety requirements.
