  • Fuse Holders

    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.

  • Fuse Links

    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.

  • Fuse Reducers

    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.

  • High Speed Semiconductor Fuses

    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.

  • Medium Voltage Fuses

    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.

Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

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.

Shipping

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mersen and Ferraz Shawmut the same company?

The North American headquarters of Ferraz Shawmut, a multinational corporation, is now known as Mersen.

What is an NH fuse?

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.

How do I choose the right fuse?

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.
