Mersen R-Rated fuses are current-limiting, high interrupting rating fuses intended for the short circuit protection of medium voltage motors and motor controllers. R-Rated fuses are back-up fuses that have a minimum interrupting rating, and must be coordinated with overload relays in combination motor starters. The motor starter manufacturer generally specifies the R-Rated fuse size. These fuses come with a 3 (size D) or 4 (size E) inch diameter barrels with ferrules and are mounted in spring reinforced clips
