Overview

The Mersen D302223 is a Size 71 gR Protistor® high-speed fuse-link specifically engineered for critical semiconductor protection in DC power conversion systems. Designed with a square body and open slot blades, this fuse-link offers versatile mounting options while maintaining compact dimensions. It is rated for 250A continuous current and operates at 600VDC (IEC) / 650VDC (UL), making it suitable for high-voltage DC applications. The fuse features pure silver die-cut elements embedded in high-purity quartz sand, ensuring controlled arc quenching for a low I²t value and a high breaking capacity up to 126 kA. Silver-plated contact surfaces enhance conductivity and reduce contact resistance, while non-magnetic hardware improves reliability in high-frequency switching environments. The open slot blades are compatible with a wide range of fuse holders, including those designed for Size 71 Protistor® fuses. Optional field-mountable microswitches are available for fault indication, allowing for remote monitoring of fuse status. With a power dissipation of 50W at rated current, the D302223 is optimized for protecting sensitive electronic components such as diodes, thyristors, GTOs, and IGBTs in demanding applications including solar inverters, motor drives, and industrial power supplies.
