Overview

The Mersen Amp-Trap® A4BY300-TI is a Class L, time-delay fuse engineered for critical protection in industrial electrical systems. Rated at 100% capacity, it handles continuous currents up to 300A while providing 4-second minimum time delay at 500% of its rating. This allows normal current surges to pass without tripping, ensuring coordination with ground fault relays and preventing nuisance outages. The fuse operates at 600VAC and 300VDC, offering versatile protection across diverse voltage requirements. With a 200kA interrupting rating (AC) and 100kA (DC), it delivers robust fault protection in demanding environments. The integrated TI indicator provides visual confirmation of blown fuses, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. Designed for service entrance equipment, feeder circuits, and circuit breakers, the A4BY300-TI features a glass melamine body, plated terminals, and high-grade silica filler for superior reliability in harsh conditions. Its unique dimensions prevent replacement by other fuse classes, ensuring system integrity.
