Overview

The Mersen CP4/0C2 is a specialized current-limiting fuse designed for rapid fault isolation in service entrance and distribution runs. Manufactured by Mersen, this Amp-Trap® protector (SKU: CP4/0C2) is engineered to enhance system reliability by quickly clearing electrical faults. It boasts a high interrupting rating of 200,000A, ensuring robust protection against severe short circuits. Despite its high interrupting capacity, the CP4/0C2 is designed to tolerate minor cable overloads, allowing standard protective devices to manage these less critical events. This cable protector is rated for 4/0 AWG cable size and is compatible with copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al) conductors. The device features a straight blade termination for connection to the cable. Optional heat shrinkable (HS) tubing is available for field installation, providing a secure and insulated connection. For applications involving cables smaller than 4/0 AWG, Mersen Class J fuses can be utilized. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39121606, and it is manufactured in the USA.
