Overview

The Mersen A50QS350-4IL Amp-Trap® Form 101 high-speed fuse delivers superior protection for dynamic solid-state equipment operating at 500VAC/VDC. Rated 350A with a 4IL blade mounting type, this fuse features the lowest I²t for maximum semiconductor circuit protection, ensuring minimal damage during short circuits. Its low watts loss design reduces heat generation, improving equipment reliability and longevity. The A50QS series excels in cyclic loading applications, offering longer operational life compared to standard fuses. With a 200kA interrupting rating (AC) and 87kA (DC), it meets UL 198L and CSA LR12636 standards, making it ideal for motor drives, inverters, UPS systems, and other high-performance power electronics. The integrated indicator (IL) provides visual confirmation of fuse status. Compact dimensions (8.97" x 1.62" x 0.75") allow for space-efficient installations. Distributed by Gross Automation for fast delivery.
