Why Choose the Mersen A4BQ300 Class L Fuse?
The Mersen A4BQ300 is a high-performance Class L time-delay current-limiting fuse designed to protect industrial power distribution systems, service entrance equipment and heavy-duty electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Part of the established Mersen Amp-Trap 2000 A4BQ series, it combines effective current limitation with time-delay performance for circuits subject to temporary motor, transformer and equipment inrush currents.
Rated at 300 A, 600 V AC and 500 V DC, the A4BQ300 provides dependable protection in high-fault-current environments. Its current-limiting construction reduces peak let-through current and fault energy, helping minimise damaging thermal and mechanical stress on switchgear, transformers, busbars, cables and connected equipment.
The fuse incorporates a four-second time-delay characteristic at 500% of rated current. This allows normal temporary starting and energisation currents to pass without nuisance operation while maintaining rapid interruption of sustained overloads and short-circuit faults. Its Class L rejection-style configuration also helps prevent the installation of an unsuitable fuse type.
Key Advantages
- Industrial Class L time-delay current-limiting fuse.
- 300 A current rating for demanding power distribution circuits.
- 600 V AC and 500 V DC voltage ratings.
- High interrupting capacity for systems with substantial available fault current.
- Four-second time delay helps prevent nuisance operation during equipment start-up.
- Current-limiting performance reduces damaging fault energy.
Key Features

Reliable Industrial Power Distribution Protection
The Mersen A4BQ300 interrupts excessive fault currents before they can reach their maximum prospective value. Limiting the peak current and total let-through energy helps protect critical electrical infrastructure and can reduce the severity of damage caused by high-level short circuits.
Its time-delay characteristic enables the fuse to tolerate normal temporary surges from motors, transformers and other inductive equipment. This balance of inrush tolerance and fast fault interruption makes the A4BQ300 suitable for installations requiring dependable circuit protection, operational continuity and selective coordination.
Typical Applications
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- Service entrance equipment.
- Main distribution and feeder circuits.
- Motor control centres.
- Transformer protection.
- Industrial disconnect switches.
- Circuit-breaker back-up protection.
- Compatible AC and DC power distribution systems.
