R-RATED MOTOR STARTER FUSES
Amp-trap
®
R-rated fuses are current-limiting, high inter-
rupting rating fuses intended for the short-circuit protec-
tion of medium voltage motors and motor controllers. R-
rated fuses 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. The A072B is a bolt-in
7.2kV fuse.
Features /Benefits
•
Ferrule mounting
for standard clips and
interchangeability with other brands of fuses.
•
7.2kV
series has the same dimensions as
4.8kV fuses, allowing compact, higher
voltage-rated equipment designs.
•
7,2kV
bolt-in design for improved
design flexibility.
• Optional hookeye on 4.8 kV for non
load-break isolation by hookstick.
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.
