Overview

The Mersen A6K400R Amp-Trap® fuse (SKU: A6K400R) provides robust protection for industrial circuits. As a Class RK1, fast-acting fuse, it is rated for 600VAC and 300VDC, with a high interrupt rating of 200kA AC and 20kA DC. This 400A fuse is designed for applications requiring rapid response to overcurrents and short circuits, making it suitable for branch and feeder circuits, as well as backup protection in systems with high available fault currents. Its rejection-style design ensures that only compatible fuse classes can be used for replacement, enhancing safety and compliance. The fiberglass body offers dimensional stability in demanding industrial environments. Key features include a highly current-limiting capability that minimizes peak let-through current, protecting downstream equipment. The A6K400R is UL listed to standard 248-12 (File E2137) and CSA certified to C22.2 No. 248.12. It is ideal for use in loadcenters, panelboards, switchboards, and bus duct systems, as well as for non-inductive and lighting circuits. Compatible fuse blocks, such as the 64001R for 3-pole 600V applications, are recommended for proper installation. This fuse offers a reliable solution for critical power distribution where fast-acting, high-fault current protection is essential.
