Overview

The Mersen AJT250/600 is a Class J time-delay reducer fuse designed for permanent current rating reduction without separate fuse reducers. Rated at 250A with a maximum voltage of 600V AC and 500V DC, this fuse features a fiberglass body for dimensional stability in harsh industrial environments and high-grade silica filler for fast arc quenching per IEC 269-2-1. Its time-delay characteristic allows temporary overloads without nuisance tripping, making it suitable for motor starting or inrush current applications while maintaining robust short-circuit protection. The larger body size (8" x 2.5" x 0.38" / 203mm x 64mm x 9.5mm) ensures proper fit in fuse holders designed for higher amperage ratings. Optional EI indicator/switch provides visual or mechanical status feedback.
