Overview

The Mersen Amp-Trap 2000® AJT450EIB fuse (SKU AJT450EIB) provides robust industrial circuit protection with IEC Type 2 No Damage capability for main, feeder, and branch circuits across all load types. This Class J fuse utilizes advanced material technology and offers a compact footprint, requiring half the mounting space of comparable 600VAC Class RK fuses, enabling smaller and more economical fuse block installations. Its time-delay characteristics are optimized for managing typical motor starting and transformer inrush currents while delivering superior current-limiting performance. The integrated SmartSpot® visual open fuse indicator provides immediate, clear status feedback, enhancing operational safety and reducing downtime. The AJT450EIB features a high interrupting rating of 300kA I.R. DC. Key features include a high-visibility orange label for instant recognition, metal-embossed date and catalog number for traceability, and a fiberglass body for dimensional stability in industrial environments. The high-grade silica filler ensures fast arc quenching. This fuse is recommended for Arc Flash energy reduction and offers easy 2-to-1 selectivity to prevent nuisance shutdowns. Its unique Class J dimensions prevent incorrect fuse replacements. Applications include motor circuits, mains, feeders, branch circuits, lighting, heating, general loads, transformers, control panels, circuit breaker back-up, bus duct, and load centers. The AJT450EIB is rated for 600VAC or less and 500VDC or less, with an amperage rating of 450A.
