Recommended Fuses for Reducing Arc Flash Energy

Typically, the fuses we recommend for arc flash energy reduction are UL Listed branch circuit fuses with the highest degree of current limitation. The fuses shown here have had excellent results in laboratory tests, limiting arc flash incident energies to very low values for arc fault currents within their current-limiting range.


Amp-Trap 2000® A4BQ Class L Fuse
Designed for applications greater than 600 amperes, A4BQ offers an interrupting rating of 300 kA and a unique design that delivers excellent performance in arc flash situations.

Amp-Trap 2000® A6D Class RK1 Fuse
The ideal choice for upgrading existing applications of 600 amperes and less, the A6D offers excellent current-limiting performance for short circuits and time delay for overloads. Its dimensions allow for simple upgrades of existing Class H, Class K and Class RK5 fuses.
