Overview

The Mersen A076820 Protistor® high-speed cylindrical fuse (SKU: A076820) is engineered for critical semiconductor protection in industrial power systems. This Type aR fuse operates at 690VAC and is rated for 63A, providing a robust solution for fault current interruption with a 160kA breaking capacity. Its pre-arcing I²t is 386.8 A²s, and clearing I²t at rated voltage is 3100 A²s, ensuring rapid response to overcurrent events. Compliant with IEC 60269-1 and IEC 60269-4 (aR class per IEC 60269-4 and VDE 636-23), it meets stringent global safety standards. The 27x60mm cylindrical design features a striker mechanism for clear visual and mechanical indication of fuse operation, simplifying status checks. With a low power dissipation of 15.5W at 63A, it minimizes energy loss. Each unit weighs 57g and is packaged in boxes of 10. Manufactured in the US, it holds UL recognition (excluding 6A variants). Ideal for protecting power semiconductors in variable speed drives, inverters, converters, and motor controllers, the Mersen A076820 delivers reliable and efficient protection.
