Overview

The Mersen G1032959 is a High Voltage DIN Back-up fuse from the Limitor®-PTS range, engineered for reliable transformer protection in high-voltage switchgear and controlgear systems. Designed to meet VDE T402 standards, this fuse operates at 36kVAC and has a rated current of 16A. It features a compact d56mm diameter and a length of L537mm, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Mersen's innovative design incorporates new fuse-element technology for reduced power losses, contributing to improved energy efficiency. A key feature is the integrated thermal striker (80N), which actively prevents overheating within the fuse compartment of the switchgear, enhancing operational safety and longevity. The construction utilizes premium materials: fuse-elements are made of pure silver, caps are copper coated with silver, and the body is ceramic, ensuring excellent electrical and thermal performance. This Limitor®-PTS HV fuse-link is specifically designed to protect transformers against the thermal and dynamic effects of short-circuits. It is recommended by leading manufacturers such as Siemens and Ormazabal for use in their gas-insulated switchgear. Key specifications include a breaking capacity of 65 kA, an I²t rating of 3700 A²s, a minimum breaking current of 64 A, a cold resistance of 66 mΩ, and a power dissipation of 21 W at rated current. The fuse weighs 1.6 kg and comes in a package of 1. This product is manufactured in the US and carries the UNSPSC code 39121626.
