Overview

The Mersen B300128 Protistor® fuse-link (SKU: B300128) is a high-speed, ultra-fast acting semiconductor protection fuse designed for power conversion equipment. Rated at 63A with a voltage rating of 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL), this Size 30 aR fuse-link provides critical protection for sensitive semiconductor components such as diodes, thyristors, IGBTs, and MOSFETs. Its square body design with slotted blades ensures secure and reliable electrical contact, while the die-cut fuse elements embedded in solidified quartz sand deliver controlled arcing characteristics and a lower I²t value for enhanced performance. The fuse-link features silver-plated contact surfaces for optimal conductivity and non-magnetic hardware to prevent electromagnetic interference. With a rated breaking capacity of 200kA, it meets the demands of high-fault current applications. The B300128 is compatible with low voltage trip-indicators, enabling field-mountable microswitch activation for improved system monitoring. Part of Mersen’s Protistor® range, this fuse-link is engineered for modern power electronics applications requiring precise and reliable semiconductor protection.
