Overview

The Mersen A30QS100-4IL Amp-Trap® high-speed fuse is engineered for critical protection of power semiconductors, including diodes and SCRs, operating at 300VAC/DC or less. This 100A blade-style fuse features an integral blown-fuse indicator (IL) for immediate fault detection, reducing downtime in industrial applications. With a low I²t value, it minimizes damage to protected components during short circuits, while controlled arc voltage ensures reduced stress on circuit elements during clearing. The A30QS series offers superior DC capabilities with interrupting ratings of 200kA AC and 100kA DC, making it ideal for heavy-duty rectifiers and power supplies. UL recognized (File E60314, Guide JFHR2), this fuse is manufactured in Mexico and distributed by Gross Automation. Choose from multiple mounting options (blades, bolt-in) to match your equipment design requirements.
  • 100A rating at 300VAC/DC for semiconductor protection
