487 Series Features & Benefits
Features
 Lower I2t and faster
tripping
Benefits

 High current ratings up to
16A in a 5x20mm footprint
Ensures the short-circuit and overcurrent fault in the PSU is protected by
the 487 Series fuse open instead of the
circuit breaker open in the electrical
panel, which causes a power outage in
the entire branch circuit

Saves space on the PCB in high-power
applications
 420V AC

Suitable for high-power 3-phase
applications, inverters, and ballasts
 420V DC

Optimal for high-voltage DC
applications in datacenter power
distribution, telecom, and intelligent
commercial building applications

Lower I2t, Faster Tripping!
PSU #1
PSU #2
PSU #3
Circuit Breaker
Over-current fault in PSU #1 is protected by the 487 Series fuse tripping
faster than the branch circuit breaker in the electrical panel. Therefore, the
circuit breaker is kept intact and the branch power is maintained to supply
PSU #2 and #3.
