Overview

The Mersen B201251 D fuse-link (RECTICUR D gR) is a high-speed, ultra-fast acting fuse designed for semiconductor protection in AC/DC applications. Rated at 80A with a voltage range of 500VAC and 440VDC, this DIV size fuse-link is part of the first generation of screw fuse-systems adhering to the German DIN standard. The 'gR' designation indicates its suitability for protecting components such as diodes, thyristors, and AC/DC motor drives, where non-trained personnel may need to replace fuses. The fuse-link features an insulated body resistant to high mechanical and thermal impacts, with top and bottom contacts made of nickel-plated/silver-plated copper alloy for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. It includes a colored indicator on the top contact for clear operation status visibility. With a breaking capacity of 80 kA AC and 40 kA DC, the B201251 ensures safe interruption of short circuits and overcurrents. Its low power dissipation of 5.5 W at rated current minimizes energy loss, while the pre-arcing I²t of 14000 A²s and clearing I²t of 650000 A²s at rated voltage provide precise protection. The fuse-link is part of the D system, which includes sizes DII, DIII, DIV, and DV, with current ratings from 2A to 200A. Ideal for industrial applications requiring reliable and fast-acting overcurrent protection.
