Overview

The Mersen A30QS225-4IL Amp-Trap® high-speed fuse is a current-limiting fuse designed for the protection of power semiconductors such as diodes, phase control SCRs, and other semiconductor devices operating at 300VAC or 300VDC. This fuse features a 225A rating with an integral blown-fuse indicator (IL) for immediate visual confirmation of fuse operation. The A30QS series is UL recognized (File E60314) and tested to 200kA IR AC / 100kA IR DC, providing superior fault current interruption. Its low I²t value minimizes damage to protected components during short circuits, while controlled arc voltage reduces stress on circuit components during clearing. The fuse is rated for L/R of 10ms and is available in multiple mounting configurations including blade and bolt-in styles. Ideal for heavy-duty rectifiers and power supplies in industrial applications, the A30QS225-4IL ensures reliable protection with fast-acting response and indicator feedback.
