Overview

The Mersen A480T3E Amp-Trap® medium voltage potential transformer fuse provides primary winding protection for potential transformers (PT) and control power transformers (CPT) in industrial and utility applications. Rated for 4800VAC with a 3A current rating, this ferrule-mounted fuse offers an interrupting rating of 80kA RMS symmetrical, ensuring superior equipment protection against overcurrent conditions. The fuse features a non-venting design for silent operation and includes a metal-embossed catalog number and manufacturing date for traceability. Designed for standard clips with 5-inch (127mm) clip centers, the A480T3E is interchangeable with other ferrule-type fuses, simplifying upgrades and replacements. Its compact dimensions (0.812" diameter, 5.625" length) and ferrule length of 0.625" make it ideal for space-constrained installations. Certified for indoor use, this fuse is part of Mersen’s Amp-Trap® series, known for reliability in medium voltage applications ranging from 2.4kV to 7.2kV. Applications include substations, metering systems, and industrial power distribution where precise voltage measurement and transformer protection are critical.
