Overview

The Mersen A30QS100-4L Amp-trap Semiconductor Protection Fuse is engineered for the critical protection of power semiconductor devices. This fuse is specifically designed for applications requiring robust protection for diodes, phase control SCRs, IGBT, and MOSFET devices. It offers ultra-fast acting, current-limiting protection against short circuits and overcurrents, minimizing damage to sensitive power electronics. This model is recommended for new applications operating at 300 Volts and less. It features a 100 Ampere current rating and a Type 4L connection, ensuring secure integration into industrial power systems. The A30QS series adheres to aR Class according to IEC 60269-4 and VDE 636-23 standards, providing very low I²t for enhanced semiconductor protection and superior cycling capability. Key features include die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand for controlled arcing characteristics, resulting in a lower I²t and a high interrupting rating. All contact surfaces are silver plated, and hardware is non-magnetic. The Protistor® fuse-links are available in multiple body sizes and mounting styles, offering flexibility in equipment design. Applications for the Mersen A30QS100-4L include the protection of inverters, motor drives, UPS systems, and other equipment operating at 690V or less.
