Overview

The Mersen TR15R is a Class RK5 time-delay fuse designed for reliable overcurrent protection in industrial applications. This current-limiting fuse features a rugged fiberglass body for dimensional stability in harsh environments and is rated for 250VAC and 160VDC at 15A. The TR15R offers a proven time-delay characteristic that safely handles harmless starting currents and inrush currents associated with modern motors and transformers, preventing nuisance openings. With an interrupting rating of 200kA IR AC and 20kA IR DC, it provides robust circuit protection for motor circuits, mains, feeders, branch circuits, transformers, and service entrance equipment. The rejection-style design ensures correct fuse replacement when used with recommended fuse blocks, and the easy-to-read label and metal-embossed date and catalog number enable quick identification and traceability. Optional SmartSpot® blown fuse indication is available for applications requiring visual indication of blown fuses. The TR15R is part of Mersen's Tri-Onic® series, known for advanced material technology and dependable performance in critical applications.
