Description
A4BQ1600 Mersen Slow Blow L Fuse 1.6kA 600VAC 500VDC Cylindrical Cartridge Bolt Mount CSA, UL Class L Type; 10-3/4 Inch; UL 248/248-10, CSA C22.2 Approval; 600 Volt AC, 500 Volt DC Voltage Rating; 3 Inch Diameter; 200 Kiloamp (AC), 100 Kiloamp (DC) Interrupting Rating; 1600 Amp Current Rating; Blade Terminal Type
Fastest operation under short circuit conditions: Let-thru currents are typically 20 percent lower, with a corresponding let-thru energy (clearing I2t) up to 40% lower than the next fastest Class L fuse
Time-delay for high inrush loads such as motors and transformers, without nuisance opening
300kA interrupting rating – self-certified, UL witnessed tests
Most current-limiting for lowest peak let-thru current; even at fault currents up to 300kA
Recommended for Arc Flash energy reduction
Pure silver links ensure lowest let-thru current and longer fuse life
Easy 2-to-1 selectivity for prevention of nuisance shutdowns and “blackouts”
Rejection-style design prevents replacement errors
High-visibility orange label gives instant brand recognition
Reduced inventory because A4BQ can replace all older types of Class L fuses now in-service
Metal-embossed date and catalog number for traceability and lasting identification
Fiberglass body provides dimensional stability in harsh industrial settings
High-grade silica filler ensures fast arc quenching
Optional mechanical TA indicator (100-6000A). Please contact factory for special trigger actuator
