Overview

The Mersen A300C130-10 Amp-Trap® medium voltage capacitor fuse (SKU: A300C130-10) is a current-limiting fuse designed to ANSI C37-41 standards for medium voltage capacitor protection. Rated at 3000VAC and 130A, this fuse provides short circuit and overload protection for capacitor banks, preventing case rupture or dielectric failure in industrial power systems. Key specifications include a maximum voltage rating of 3000VAC and an interrupting rating (IR) of 50kA symmetrical, ensuring reliable fault interruption in high-fault current environments. The fuse features a male-to-female stud configuration for direct mounting in general-purpose or weatherproof enclosures, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its non-venting design ensures silent operation without gas emission during fault conditions. The visual indicator confirms fuse operation for quick diagnostics, reducing downtime in capacitor protection systems. Multiple mounting configurations (clip style, bus mount) offer space-saving solutions while maintaining high reliability. Ideal for industrial power factor correction systems, harmonic filters, and utility substations where precise fault interruption is critical. UL Recognized Component File E60314 and tested to CSA standard C22.2 No. 248.1, this fuse meets rigorous safety and performance standards for medium voltage applications.
