Overview

The Mersen B300082 Protistor® Size 33 aR fuse-link is engineered for ultra-fast semiconductor protection in high-power conversion systems. This square body fuse-link is rated for 1000A interrupting capacity at 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL), making it ideal for applications requiring precise fault current interruption, such as inverters, motor drives, and UPS systems operating at 690V or below. It complies with aR class standards per IEC 60269-4 and VDE 636-23, ensuring compatibility with global standards. The fuse-link features die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, which controls arcing characteristics for a lower I²t and minimizes thermal stress on protected semiconductors like diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs. Silver-plated contact surfaces ensure low resistance, and non-magnetic hardware enhances reliability under cyclic loads. The square body design offers flexibility in equipment configuration. The current-limiting design of the B300082 limits fault currents to safe levels, protecting downstream components. Optional low-voltage trip indicators with field-mountable microswitches are available for real-time monitoring of fuse status, improving system uptime. This fuse-link meets the demands of high-efficiency conversion equipment where fast response and precise protection are critical. It holds UL/CSA Recognition E76491 and complies with CCC GB 13539.4 for the Asian market. The Mersen B300082 is a key component for modern power electronics.
