Overview

The Mersen C320369 Protistor® NH Size 1 aR high-speed fuse-link (SKU: C320369) delivers precision protection for power conversion equipment operating at 690VAC (IEC) / 700VAC (UL). Designed for semiconductor applications including diodes, thyristors, GTOs, and IGBTs, this fuse-link combines advanced arc control with silver-plated contacts and non-magnetic hardware for superior performance. Key specifications include a rated current of 160A, pre-arcing I²t of 2680 A²s, clearing I²t of 14000 A²s at rated voltage, and a breaking capacity of 200kA. Power dissipation at rated current is 36W with a package weight of 0.24kg. The fuse-link features a double indicator for visual status monitoring and plain blades for compatibility with NH modular systems per DIN 43620/00. Engineered for global acceptance, the C320369 integrates seamlessly into NH fuse-holders, fuse switch disconnectors, and direct installation systems. Its silver elements embedded in solidified sand optimize arc characteristics, reducing I²t values while maintaining high interrupting ratings. The low-voltage trip indicator enables remote monitoring via field-mountable microswitches, enhancing system safety and maintenance efficiency. Ideal for industrial power conversion, renewable energy systems, motor drives, and variable frequency applications, this fuse-link ensures reliable protection against overcurrent conditions in high-performance electrical environments.
