Overview

The Mersen E300223 Protistor® Size 33 aR square body high-speed fuse-link provides ultra-fast semiconductor protection for power conversion equipment operating at 690V or less. Rated for 900A at 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL), this fuse-link is engineered to safeguard diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs in inverters, motor drives, and UPS systems. Its die-cut fuse elements embedded in solidified sand control arcing for a lower I²t value and high interrupting rating, minimizing damage during fault conditions. The E300223 features silver-plated contact surfaces for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance, with non-magnetic hardware to prevent interference. Open slot blades ensure globally accepted mounting compatibility. Compliance with IEC 60269-4 and VDE 636-23 aR class standards, plus CCC GB 13539.4 for Asian markets, makes it suitable for international applications. Optional low-voltage trip-indicators enable remote signaling via microswitch activation for enhanced safety and control. Designed for maximum flexibility, the E300223 supports multiple body sizes and terminal/blade combinations, offering superior cycling capability in critical power electronics where reliability and precision protection are essential.
