UltraSafe Series fuse holders with screw-less, spring-pressure wire termination technology offering IP20 finger-safe protection to absorb shocks & vibrations for keeping connections secure. Ideal for use in power control, power distribution & power electronics. UL-listed & CSA-certified.
Designed for protecting electrical devices against damage due to high inrush currents. Feature ceramic bodies to provide high breaking capacity, silver-plated contacts for higher conductivity and reduced size for mounting versatility. Ideal for use in motors and transformers.
Ideal for installation on fuse ferrules or blades that can accommodate lower-rated fuses to fit higher-rated fuse blocks, holders and switches. Offer a unique design that allows a strong electrical contact for proper fuse operation. UL-listed and CSA-certified.
Ul-listed, high-speed fuses ideal for protecting small inverters, DC drives, UPS and electrochemical rectifiers during a fault condition. Unique design reduces peak let-thru current, arc voltages and high-potential fault currents in extremely short times, providing complete protection.
Current-limiting fuses intended for medium voltage motors and motor controllers to protect against short circuit conditions. Include E-rated fuses for general purpose use, R-rated for backup applications and PT fuses for protection of potential transformers.
Protecting against fault currents in industrial branch circuits and motor circuits. Colour-coded to prevent the installation of a mismatched fuse and have a window that allows easy monitoring of the fuse status. Available in time-delay and fast-acting mechanism variants.
Used in new electrical installations or as replacements for blown fuses while protecting against overcurrent. Contain a metal strip / wire that melts to disconnect the circuit on exposing to greater current loads. Selected models offer bolt-in mounting for quick connection / disconnection.
Ideal for supplement protection of lighting devices, a solenoid, motors and more. Offer 12-second time-delay capabilities for circuits with high inrush currents, allowing the contacts to open and interrupt the current flow.
Designed to easily splice cables into multiple secondary circuits or provide a fixed junction tap-off point. Feature IP20 finger-safe enclosures, eliminating the need for special covers or custom Plexiglas sheets to protect the panel. Allow mounting onto a DIN rail to provide quick installation.
Include touch-safe covers and end barriers to protect circuits from accidental touch and prevent terminal blocks from falling off DIN rails & channels.
The M-Series load break switches are ideal for switching the power supply on or off for complete electrical isolation during high current situations. Feature a modular design that allows easy installation and silver-plated contacts for protection against corrosion.
Feature TPMOV (thermally protected metal oxide varistor) technology to prevent the surge protection devices (SPDs) against damage caused by overvoltage breakdown and overheating. Include a visual / remote indicator that indicates the status of metal oxide discs when disconnected by an arc shield.
Crimped or bolted cables for instantly isolating faults while increasing the reliability of service entrance and distribution runs. Feature moulded rubber boots for insulation and protection, fibreglass construction for durability and stamped label for permanent identification.
Equipped with double-break contacts per hole, ensuring complete isolation of the fuse when the switch is in the OFF position. Provides complete short circuit protection when used with Mersen's Class CC, J or L-type fuses. Available in NEMA 4X non-metallic and stainless steel enclosures.
The brand's fuses catalogue includes glass & ceramic fuses, cable protectors and Class CC fuses. The brand's fast-acting fuses provide a range of applications with top-notch current-limiting protection. Their distinctive dimensions prevent the replacement of other fuses with lesser interrupting ratings, voltage ratings or current-limiting capacity. They feature ceramic or glass construction to protect electronics & appliances. Mersen Ferraz Class CC time delay fuses feature a fiberglass body to ensure dimensional stability in harsh industrial settings. They have a rejection-style design to prevent replacement errors and Time-delay for motor starting inrush currents without bothersome opening. Choose from a wide range of these fuses along with ceramic or glass fuses available in fast-acting and time delay speeds on Raptor Supplies.
Mersen Ferraz's MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Bussmann model numbers. So, if you are looking for competitor items that are either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Mersen Ferraz fuses available. Customers can also cross-reference most products using the last 5 digits of the model numbers.
Mersen Ferraz fuses are small and lightweight in size and therefore require careful packaging as some products might get damaged while shipping. Hence, they are delivered by courier shipment and not air freight for minimum downtime.

The North American headquarters of Ferraz Shawmut, a multinational corporation, is now known as Mersen.
In 1944, the German DIN standard 43620 gave definitions for NH fuses, commonly referred to as DIN NH blade fuses or NH knife blade fuses. They serve as all-purpose fuses to safeguard conductors.
Make sure the fuse you choose has a rating voltage higher than the circuit voltage. The highest voltage at which a fuse can successfully stop an aberrant current is its rated voltage.
