Ferrule mounted fuses:
Mersen R-Rated fuses are current-limiting, high interrupting rating fuses intended
for the short circuit protection of medium voltage motors and motor controllers.
R-Rated fuses are back-up fuses that have a minimum interrupting rating, and must
be coordinated with overload relays in combination motor starters. The motor starter
manufacturer generally specifies the R-Rated fuse size. These fuses come with a 3
(size D) or 4 (size E) inch diameter barrels with ferrules and are mounted in spring
reinforced clips.
Features/Benefits:
•
Ferrule mounting for standard clips and interchangeability with other brands
of fuses.
•
Current-limiting for superior equipment protection.
•
Metal embossed catalog number and manufacturing date for lasting identification.
•
Hookeye for non load-break isolation by hookstick
•
On the 4.8kV an optional hookeye mounted in the factory is available.
•
On all other 3” barrel if a hookeye is required, use the operating eye
9F61AAW612. (See page E58)
•
Blown-fuse indicator to give positive identification of open fuse.

Definitions:
R-Rating:
R-Rated fuses are back-up fuses that operate as follows (Per ANSI
C37.46-2000): An R-Rated fuse will melt in the range of 15 to 35 seconds at a value of
current equal to 100 times the “R” rating.
Back-up Current-Limiting Fuses:
A back-up current-limiting fuse is a fuse that can
interrupt any current between its rated minimum interrupting current and its maximum
interrupting current. Back-up fuses are not designed or intended to open under
overload conditions.
Continuous Ampere Rating at 40°C:
The continuous amp rating defines the thermal
capability of the fuse per ANSI C37.46 and should not be the sole factor in fuse
selection.
