Overview

The Mersen OT125 (SKU: OT125) is a Class K-5 fast-acting fuse designed for overcurrent protection in feeder and branch circuits. Rated for 250VAC and 250VDC at 125A, it provides a 50,000A AC interrupting rating (20,000A DC), ensuring robust fault protection for non-motor loads. This fuse is optimized for lighting, heating, and resistive applications, delivering fast response to minimize downtime and equipment damage during fault conditions. Compatible with standard Class K-5 fuse blocks, the OT125 is a low-cost, high-value solution for industrial and commercial electrical systems. Its design aligns with Mersen’s Amp-Trap® series, known for reliable performance in demanding environments. The fuse is available in a 125A rating, with dimensions of 8-5/8 inches (219 mm) in length and 2-1/16 inches (52 mm) in diameter for 201-400A class fuses. For Canadian applications requiring low melting-point designs in 15-60A ratings, the OTN series is recommended. Key applications include branch circuit protection, panelboards, and industrial control panels where fast-acting response is critical. The OT125 is part of Mersen’s Class K-5 fuse family, which includes models ranging from 0-30A to 401-600A, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of system requirements.
