Overview

The Mersen B300427 Protistor® fuse-link, SKU B300427, is a high-speed, square body fuse designed for ultimate protection of semiconductors in power conversion equipment. Rated for 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL), this aR class fuse-link handles an impressive 1800A current. Its Size 2x33 body is engineered with die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, a construction method that effectively controls arcing characteristics, resulting in a lower I²t and a high interrupting rating level. This design ensures state-of-the-art protection for sensitive semiconductor devices such as diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs. The B300427 features striker plates and metric threaded holes for versatile mounting options across different equipment designs. All contact surfaces are silver plated, and non-magnetic hardware is utilized to maintain performance integrity. For enhanced operational monitoring, each fuse-link can be equipped with a low voltage trip-indicator that can activate a field-mountable microswitch, providing clear indication of fuse operation. Manufactured in the US, this Protistor® fuse-link offers maximum flexibility and reliable protection for demanding applications.
