Mersen C1016602 Square Body High-Speed Fuse Protistor® Size 72 gR 450VDC IEC 500VDC UL 700A With Striker…

The voltage range for these fuses is 450 to 600 VDC according to IEC standards and up to 650 VDC according to UL standards.

The current rating range for these fuses is from 200 A to 700 A.

These fuses are classified as gR class according to IEC 60269-4 and VDE 636-23 standards.

These fuses are designed for protecting inverters, motor drives, UPS systems, and similar equipment rated at 600V or less.

Features include multiple body sizes, low I²t for improved semiconductor protection, extremely fast acting response, and excellent cycling capability.

The fuses use pure silver, die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand to control arcing characteristics, resulting in lower I²t and a high interrupting rating.

Yes, all fuse-links can be equipped with a low voltage trip-indicator that can operate a field mountable microswitch.

The weight for size 72 gR fuses with TTF style is approximately 0.73 kg, and for EF style, it is approximately 0.76 kg.

The pre-arcing I²t value for the 700A Protistor size 72 gR fuse (catalog number C1016602) is 154790 A²s.

The power dissipation at rated current for a 200A Protistor size 72 gR fuse is 45 W.
