Mersen F300385 Square Body High-Speed Fuse Protistor® Size 31 aR 690VAC IEC 700VAC UL 160A With Striker…

The rated AC voltage for these fuses is 690 VAC according to IEC standards and 700 VAC according to UL standards.

The Protistor size 31 aR fuses are available in an ampere range from 160 A to 800 A.

These fuses comply with IEC 60269.4, are UL/CSA Recognized (E76491), and meet CCC GB 13539.4 for the Asian market.

These fuses are designed for the protection of inverters, motor drives, UPS systems, and similar equipment operating at 690V or less.

The rated breaking capacity (I.R. AC) for these fuses is 200 kA.

They are engineered to provide protection for semiconductors such as diodes, thyristors, and IGBT devices.

Size 31 fuses are available with TTF M8 threaded terminals, TTI 5/16in unified coarse threaded terminals, DIN80 blades, DIN110 blades, KI short slotted blades, LI long slotted blades, and EF blade bolted connections.

Each fuse-link can be equipped with a low voltage trip-indicator that can operate a field mountable microswitch.

The weight varies slightly by mounting style, but is generally around 0.38 kg to 0.42 kg.

The power dissipation at rated current (In) for a 160A Protistor size 31 fuse is 35 W.
