Overview

The Mersen CNL500DIN is a DIN Type Blade fuse designed for high-current circuit protection in DC battery-powered industrial equipment. Rated for 500A with dual voltage capabilities of 80VAC and 80VDC, this fuse is optimized for heavy-duty applications including forklift trucks, hand trucks, and motorized work platforms. The CNL/CNN series design features a space-saving flat profile with a visual 'see-thru' indication for quick operational status verification. Engineered for direct mounting on SFBT fuse bases, the CNL500DIN utilizes a stud-mounted bolt-in configuration for secure installation and long-term reliability in demanding environments. With a breaking capacity of 200kA and power dissipation of 72W at rated current, this fuse meets the rigorous protection demands of battery isolator systems and motor circuits in industrial battery-powered vehicles. The 500A rating aligns with Mersen's Type LI long slotted blade series, ensuring compatibility with standard DIN 43560 fuse dimensions. This fuse is part of Mersen's specialized line of forklift truck and battery isolator protection components.
