Fuse Control Program

Fuse Control™ Program

“I didn’t realize how much excess inventory I had. After I made the switch my storeroom was cut in half.”

• Bins Eliminated – 72 of 158 • Est Annual Dollars Saved – $15,840

 The Five Major Benefits of Fuse Control™

   1. Improved Workplace Safety

• Limit the total energy delivered to an electrical fault
• Limit thermal and mechanical stresses created by the fault current
• Reduce both magnitude and duration of the fault current
• Be easily coordinated in both the overload and short circuit regions

  2. Decreased Operating Costs

•        The Fuse Control program saves you money in two ways:
• ·        Streamlining inventory
• ·        Alleviating product replacement costs with
• Based on user feedback and surveys, the average industry cost for maintaining a storeroom bin is approximately $200 per year. Let’s say a metal fabrication facility has 100 bins of fuse inventory and with Fuse Control they would be able to reduce their inventory by 25
• Number of fuse bins x Percentage of inventory reduced x Cost to maintain fuse bin = Annual savings
• 100 bins x 25% x 200 dollars = $5000 Annual savings!

      3. Reduced Downtime Associated With Electrical Failures

      4. Streamlined Inventory

      5. Easier Electrical Code Compliance

The Three Phases of Fuse Control™

 Phase 1: The Storeroom Audit & Database Analysis

     The main goal of phase one is to audit your storeroom and analyze your inventory database in order to gather the necessary information for an accurate consolidation report.

Phase 2: The consolidation report & plan

     During this phase, a Mersen factory engineer will analyze your data using our proprietary Fuse Usage & Storeroom Evaluation software. This software consolidates the audited inventory list into Mersen Amp-Trap 2000® fuses. The result is a series of valuable reports, which detail the bottom-line benefits of converting to the Fuse Control™ program and Amp-Trap 2000 fuses.

Phase 3: Implementation

Once the Fuse Control™ report has been presented and the benefits of Amp-Trap 2000® fuses are apparent you are ready for the implementation phase.
