Overview

The Mersen Amp-Trap® 2000® A6D-R fuse (SKU A6D2-8/10R) provides robust Class RK1 time-delay protection for industrial circuits. Rated for 600VAC and 600VDC with a 2.8A current rating, this fuse offers a substantial 300kA interrupting rating, verified by UL witnessed tests. Its time-delay characteristics are specifically engineered to handle harmless inrush currents from motors and transformers, preventing nuisance tripping while ensuring IEC Type 2 "no damage" protection for mains, feeders, and branch circuits. This makes it an ideal choice for motor starters, safety switches, transformers, and general-purpose applications. The fuse features a rejection-style design to ensure proper fuse block compatibility and prevent incorrect installations. A high-visibility orange label allows for instant identification, and the durable fiberglass body provides dimensional stability in challenging industrial environments. Its current-limiting capability minimizes let-through current, contributing to Arc Flash energy reduction and enabling easy 2-to-1 selectivity for enhanced system reliability and reduced downtime. Approved by UL (248-12, E2137) and CSA (C22.2 No. 248.12), the A6D-R fuse ensures compliance and performance. Metal-embossed date and catalog numbers provide essential traceability.
