AG60 Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AG60 is an Amp-Trap Class G fuse manufactured by Mersen USA Newburyport-MA L.L.C., rated for 100kA breaking capacity at 480V. This component is designed for industrial electrical protection applications requiring high interrupting capacity. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary AG60 becomes unavailable or when inventory constraints require component alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SC-60 manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division is identified as a substitute based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage Rating (AC): 480V (matches AG60 specification)
• Breaking Capacity: 100kA AC at rated voltage (matches AG60 specification)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge construction with ceramic element
• Response Time: Slow Blow characteristic
• Approval Agencies: CE, CSA, UL certifications
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (matches AG60)

The SC-60 operates within the same voltage and breaking capacity envelope as the AG60, making it electrically compatible for applications requiring Class G fuse protection at 480V with 100kA interrupting capacity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AG60 and SC-60 maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for use in applications subject to environmental and regulatory restrictions. Selection between these components should be based on:

• Holder compatibility: The SC-60 requires a separate holder cartridge, whereas the AG60 specifications do not indicate this requirement
• Packaging format: AG60 is supplied in Box packaging; SC-60 is supplied in Bulk packaging
• Approval certifications: SC-60 carries CE, CSA, and UL approvals; AG60 approval agencies are not specified in available data
• Current inventory: AG60 has 1150 units available; SC-60 has 1057 units available

Both components satisfy the electrical requirements of 480V AC operation and 100kA breaking capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes SC-60 a valid substitute for AG60?

A: The SC-60 matches the AG60 in voltage rating (480V AC) and breaking capacity (100kA), which are the primary electrical parameters determining fuse substitution. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and maintain Active product status.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility considerations?

A: Yes. The SC-60 is a cartridge-type fuse requiring a separate holder, while the AG60 is an Amp-Trap Class G fuse. Installation requirements and holder compatibility must be verified for your specific application before substitution.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: AG60 is supplied in Box packaging, while SC-60 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and handling procedures but does not impact electrical performance.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory approvals?

A: The SC-60 explicitly lists CE, CSA, and UL approvals. Approval agencies for the AG60 are not specified in the available technical data. Verify approval requirements for your application before substitution.

Q: Can I use SC-60 as a direct replacement without any modifications?

A: Electrical compatibility is established through matching voltage and breaking capacity ratings. However, mechanical installation compatibility must be confirmed, particularly regarding holder requirements and physical dimensions.
