Title: GOULD A50P100 Class L Industrial Time-Delay Current-Limiting Fuse - 100 Amp, 500V AC

Product Overview:
The GOULD A50P100 is a premium Class L time-delay, current-limiting fuse engineered for robust overcurrent protection in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Designed to safeguard critical electrical systems, this 100 Amp, 500V AC fuse provides superior protection against short circuits and sustained overloads, ensuring operational continuity and equipment longevity. Its unique time-delay characteristic allows for safe handling of temporary inrush currents from large motors, transformers, and other inductive loads without nuisance tripping. Simultaneously, its advanced current-limiting capability drastically reduces peak fault current energy, minimizing thermal and magnetic damage to downstream conductors, switchgear, and sensitive electrical components. Ideal for main service entrances, feeder circuits, and large branch circuits, the A50P100 fuse is a cornerstone of reliable electrical safety and system integrity.

Key Features & Benefits:

High Interrupting Rating (200kA RMS Symmetrical) - Provides exceptional protection against high-level fault currents, ensuring system integrity and preventing catastrophic damage during severe electrical events.
Time-Delay Characteristic - Safely accommodates temporary overcurrents from motor starting, transformer inrush, and other transient loads, preventing nuisance tripping and maximizing system uptime.
Current-Limiting Design - Rapidly clears fault currents, significantly reducing peak let-through current and I2t energy, thereby minimizing thermal and magnetic damage to conductors, switchgear, and other electrical components.
Bolted Connection - Ensures a secure, low-resistance electrical connection, enhancing reliability, reducing heat buildup, and simplifying installation in appropriate fuse holders.
Durable Construction - Engineered with high-quality materials for long-term performance, reliability, and resistance to environmental stressors in harsh industrial environments.
Low Power Loss - Efficient operation helps reduce energy consumption and operating costs by minimizing heat dissipation during normal operation.
UL Listed and CSA Certified - Meets stringent North American safety and performance standards, guaranteeing reliability, compliance, and peace of mind for critical applications.
Versatile Protection - Ideal for protecting a wide range of industrial equipment, including motors, transformers, switchboards, main distribution panels, and large industrial machinery.
