Overview

The Mersen A300564 Protistor® Square Body High-Speed Fuse is a precision-engineered aR ultra-fast acting fuse designed for semiconductor protection in power conversion equipment. Rated for 1250VAC (IEC) and 1300VAC (UL), this 315A fuse-link delivers exceptional interrupting capacity of 126kA with a clearing I²t of 95 kA²s and pre-arcing I²t of 12 kA²s. Its square body design with DIN 110 blades and integrated striker ensures easy identification of operation and compatibility with standard industrial fuse holders. Engineered for semiconductor applications, the A300564 protects diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs in converters, inverters, and motor drives. The fuse utilizes die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand to precisely control arcing characteristics, minimizing I²t values for superior protection. All contact surfaces are silver-plated for low resistance and long-term reliability, while non-magnetic hardware prevents magnetic interference in sensitive circuits. Additional features include a low-voltage trip indicator option that activates a field-mountable microswitch for remote status monitoring. With a power dissipation of 84W at rated current and a compact 1.25kg package, the A300564 balances high performance with space efficiency. Certified to IEC 1300VAC and UL standards, this US-manufactured fuse meets stringent international safety requirements for industrial power systems.
