Overview

The Mersen A70QS35-4 Amp-Trap high-speed fuse is a 700VAC/700VDC, 35A bolted blade fuse engineered for superior protection of semiconductor equipment and other high-energy circuits. With a 200kA interrupting rating for AC applications and a 100kA rating for DC applications, it provides robust fault current protection in demanding industrial environments. The fuse’s very low I²t value minimizes thermal stress and damage to sensitive solid-state components during fault conditions, ensuring rapid response to overcurrent events. Its superior cycling ability allows reliable performance under frequent load changes, making it ideal for dynamic applications such as motor drives, UPS systems, and inverters. The A70QS35-4 also features low watts loss for cooler operation and extended service life, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime. Designed for 700V or less equipment protection, this fuse is part of the A70QS series and is available with an indicator option for enhanced monitoring. The bolted blade design ensures secure installation and reliable electrical contact in high-current industrial environments, meeting the rigorous demands of modern power systems.
