Overview

The Mersen A1000132 is a DIN High Voltage Back-up fuse from the Limitor®-PD series, specifically designed for transformer protection. Adhering to IEC 60282-1 and VDE 0670 T402 standards, this fuse is engineered to protect transformers from the damaging effects of short-circuit currents. It features a rated voltage of 6/12kVAC and a rated current of 100A. The physical dimensions include a diameter of 78mm and a length of 292mm, consistent with DIN standards for this voltage class. A key feature is the integrated medium striker, rated at 80N/30mm, which provides a signaling or tripping function upon fuse operation. Mersen utilizes high-quality materials for enhanced reliability: fuse elements are constructed from pure silver, end caps are silver-coated copper, and the body is made from durable ceramic. These components ensure the fuse's integrity and performance in demanding high-voltage switchgear, controlgear, and electrical systems. The Limitor®-PD series offers high breaking capacity, high current limitation, low switching voltage, and quick breaking. Its new cap design enhances compatibility with various clip types and simplifies assembly. This fuse is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications and offers coordination with IEC 60787, IEC 62271-105, and IEC/TR 62655 standards. Mersen HV fuse-links have a long-standing reputation for dependable protection in critical high-voltage applications.
