Overview

The Mersen DFC-8I (SKU: DFC-8I) is a dead-front fuse cover designed for enhanced electrical safety. It fits Class R, K, and H fuses rated up to 600VAC and 100A, covering exposed live clips and terminals on fuse blocks. This reusable cover snaps onto individual fuses, reducing the risk of accidental contact during maintenance. The DFC-8I features an optional orange LED indicator that illuminates when a fuse opens, allowing for quick visual identification without power interruption. Constructed from UL 94-V2 rated thermoplastic, it offers low leakage current (<0.6 mA at 600V). The cover ends are trimmable for adaptable installation. Each unit includes a blank label for circuit identification. UL Listed and CSA Certified, the DFC-8I is suitable for single-pole and multi-pole fuse block configurations in panelboards, motor controllers, and distribution equipment.
