NCLR3 - 3Amp Fuse

NCLR3 - 3Amp Fuse

When your application calls for a 3-amp Class R fuse, the NCLR3 gives you a straightforward option with the ratings needed for demanding circuit protection. This cartridge-style fuse is rated for 3 amps and 600V AC, with a 200 kA A.I.C. rating at 600V AC. It's a time-delay fuse, so it can handle brief inrush currents that may occur when compatible equipment starts up without immediately opening the circuit. At the same time, its current-limiting design helps control fault current during an overcurrent condition. The NCLR3 is also quite compact, measuring 2.0 inches high and 0.56 inches wide by 0.56 inches deep. If you're replacing an existing NCLR3 or looking for a fuse that meets these electrical requirements, it's easy to compare the ratings and dimensions with your equipment's needs.

Key Features and Benefits

• 3-amp rating for compatible circuits requiring 3A overcurrent protection.
• Rated for electrical applications up to 600V AC.
• 200 kA A.I.C. at 600V AC provides a high interrupting rating for applications with significant available fault current.
• Time-delay operation accommodates brief startup and inrush currents that can occur during normal equipment operation.
• Current-limiting Class R design helps limit fault current during applicable overcurrent conditions.
• Compact cartridge-style construction makes the fuse easy to match with equipment designed for its size and fuse class.
• Non-indicating configuration with no integral blown-fuse indicator.
• Small footprint at just 2.0" x 0.56" x 0.56".

Material Compliance and Certifications

Available information identifies the NCLR3 as a current-limiting Class R fuse. The supplied specifications did not include additional agency certifications, material-compliance declarations, or certification numbers. For applications that require a specific listing, certification, or material standard, check the appropriate product documentation before installation.

Where It Works Best

The NCLR3 3 amp fuse is best used in compatible electrical equipment that specifically calls for a 3A, 600V AC, Class R time-delay fuse. The time-delay characteristic can help in circuits where a short burst of higher current is expected during startup, while the current-limiting design protects when a qualifying fault occurs.

That makes the NCLR3 a practical fit for compatible industrial equipment, machinery, control circuits, and other electrical systems designed around its ratings and dimensions. When you're replacing an existing fuse, check the full specification, not just the amperage. The 3A rating, 600V AC rating, 200 kA A.I.C., Class R configuration, time-delay characteristic, and physical size should all match the requirements of the equipment being protected.
