Description
The 487 Series is a 420VAC/420VDC rated 5x20mm fastacting ceramic body fuse, designed to ensure the best
coordination between a power supply unit (PSU) and an
electrical circuit breaker panel during short-circuit and overcurrent faults. When installed in a PSU, the 487 series
fuse opens faster than the circuit breaker and removes
the problematic PSU while preventing the circuit breaker
from shutting down other critical systems. With 420VAC
characteristics, the 487 Series is well suited for highenergy applications like 3-phase power supplies, inverters,
and ballasts. With 420VDC characteristics, it is optimal
for high-voltage DC power grid in data centers, telecom
applications, and intelligent commercial buildings.
