A4BY1200 application note: Mersen/Ferraz Shawmut A4BY1200 is an Amp-Trap fuse in the UL Class L family for high-capacity service and feeder protection. Its delayed response allows normal system inrush while the current-limiting design reduces fault energy under specified conditions.
A4BY1200 specifications

Coordination matters
A4BY fuses are 100%-rated and have a minimum four-second delay at 500% of rating. That behavior is useful for inrush and ground-fault coordination, but it must be checked against the project's time-current and arc-flash studies.
Fuse and holder verification
Confirm the exact A4BY1200 marking, Class L mounting dimensions, voltage, interrupting requirement, holder hardware, and equipment listing. Do not install or remove a fuse on energized equipment. Selection and service should be handled by qualified electrical personnel.
