Overview

The Mersen D086989 Protistor® Size 600 gR is a high-speed DC fuse-link engineered for semiconductor protection in demanding railway power and auxiliary circuits. Rated at 16A with a 3500VDC rating, this IEC-compliant fuse-link delivers precise fault interruption with low I²t values (9.3 A²s pre-arcing, 200 A²s clearing at 500V) to minimize damage to protected components during short circuits. The striker feature enables visual or remote indication of fuse operation, improving system reliability and maintenance efficiency. With a power dissipation of 3.1W at rated current, this fuse-link operates efficiently in elevated temperature environments typical of modern DC equipment. The square body design and plain blades ensure compatibility with standard fuse holders and DIN rail mounting systems. Ideal for protecting sensitive semiconductor devices in traction power systems, battery management, and industrial DC power distribution where high-speed fault interruption is critical.
