R-RATED MOTOR STARTER FUSES

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. Amp-trap
®
R-rated
fuses are rated 2R to 36R, at 2.4, 4.8, and 7.2kV.
4.8 and 7.2kV fuses are UL Recognized. The 4.8kV
(A480R) is available with hookeye tab. The 7.2kV
(A072F) series has the same dimensions as the
4.8kV (A480R), allowing smaller 7.2kV equipment
or 4.8kV upgrades, and is available as a bolt
in version.
Features/Benefits

DEFInITIOnS:
R-Rating:
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 type Current-Limiting Fuse:
A current limiting fuse which can interrupt any current
between it’s rated minimum interrupting current and it’s
maximum interrupting current. Backup fuses are not designed
or intended to open under overload conditions.
