Overview

The Mersen A70P1500-4 Amp-Trap® Form 101 high-speed fuse is a bolted blade fuse designed for precise overcurrent protection in high-voltage AC and DC systems. Rated at 1500A, it supports dual voltage capabilities of 700VAC and 650VDC, making it suitable for critical applications such as AC/DC drives, UPS systems, and reduced voltage motor starters. The fuse features a low I²t value to minimize damage to protected components during short circuits, while its controlled arc voltage reduces stress on system components. The A70P series is a proven solution for both replacement and upgrade paths in industrial power distribution, offering fast response times and high interrupting ratings of 100kA for both AC and DC systems. With a broad range of current ratings available—from 10A to 1000A for AC and 10A to 800A for DC—this fuse provides versatile protection across diverse system requirements. The 10ms response time ensures rapid fault isolation, enhancing system reliability in high-performance electrical environments.
