Overview

The Mersen E1000159 is a high-voltage DIN general purpose fuse from the Limitor®-G series, engineered for transformer protection in 24kVAC systems. This fuse-link delivers a rated current of 10A with a breaking capacity optimized for high-voltage applications, ensuring reliable interruption of short-circuit and low overcurrent conditions. The E1000159 features a 78mm diameter and 442mm length, with an 80N striker for mechanical tripping in protective circuits. Designed to IEC 60282-1 standards, the Limitor®-G series fuses provide high current limitation and low switching voltage, reducing stress on downstream equipment. The fuse-element is constructed from pure silver for consistent performance, while the silver-coated copper caps and ceramic body ensure durability and non-ageing characteristics. The new cap design improves compatibility with standard fuse clips and simplifies installation. This fuse is ideal for high-voltage switchgear, controlgear, and transformer protection in industrial and utility applications. It coordinates with IEC 60787, IEC 62271-105, and VDE 0670 T303, meeting stringent performance requirements for transformer limiting applications. The E1000159 is part of Mersen’s trusted Limitor®-G series, which has provided reliable protection in high-voltage systems for decades.
