Description
Mersen fuse reducers allow the use of lower rated fuses in existing equipment having clips with higher ampere ratings. The use of closer rated time-delay fuses can improve circuit protection. For example, renewable or one-time fuses feeding a motor can be replaced with fuses sized closer to the motor nameplate current. Non-rejection reducers will allow Class H, K or R fuses to fit Class H or K clips. Rejection-type reducers will allow only Class R fuses to fit Class R clips or only Class J fuses to fit Class J clips. Class J fuse reducers are not for bolt on applications.
Features
- This heavy-duty fuse reducer allows you to safely install lower-rated fuses into existing high-amperage clips, saving you the labor and expense of replacing the entire fuse block. By downsizing your overcurrent protection to closely match a specific motor's actual nameplate current, you drastically improve circuit sensitivity and prevent expensive equipment burnouts during sustained low-level overloads.
- This precision-machined component is engineered to perfectly adapt a standard 100-Amp fuse clip to securely hold a 60-Amp (at 250V) fuse. The tight, high-tension fit minimizes electrical resistance at the contact point, preventing dangerous localized heating and ensuring reliable power flow to your commercial HVAC systems, pumps, or industrial machinery.
- Designed specifically as a rejection-type reducer, this adapter physically blocks the installation of dangerous, non-current-limiting Class H or K fuses into your system. This critical mechanical fail-safe ensures your electrical panel maintains its proper protective rating, guarding facility personnel against severe arc flash hazards and simplifying routine maintenance for your technicians.
- Fully UL Listed and CSA Certified, this rugged fuse reducer meets rigorous North American standards for high-voltage industrial safety. Capable of supporting a massive 200,000 Amp Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) when paired with the correct Class R time-delay fuse, it guarantees that your power distribution upgrades easily pass strict local electrical code inspections.
