Overview

The Mersen A70QS600-4K Amp-Trap® high-speed fuse is engineered for superior protection of 700V semiconductor equipment. Developed to meet new equipment requirements, this fuse offers significantly lower I²t values, providing enhanced protection against overcurrents and short circuits. Its robust design ensures longer operational life, especially under cyclic loading conditions, a common challenge in dynamic solid-state applications. The A70QS series also boasts lower watts loss, contributing to cooler system operation and improved energy efficiency. This fuse is the optimal choice for safeguarding critical components in motor drives, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), and inverters operating at or below 700V. Key specifications include a 600A current rating, 700VAC/VDC voltage rating, and an impressive 200kA interrupting rating for AC and 100kA for DC (with L/R ≤ 10ms). The bolted blade mounting type ensures secure installation. Approvals include UL recognized component (File E60314) and CSA certified (File LR 12636), confirming its reliability and compliance with industry standards. Mersen's A70QS fuses are designed for applications demanding the highest level of protection and operational longevity. SKU: A70QS600-4K.
