Overview

The Mersen Limitor® FR-type high-voltage back-up fuse, SKU G1043539, is engineered for critical transformer protection in HV/LV power distribution systems. This IEC-compliant fuse operates at 24kVAC with a rated current of 16A. Its dimensions are a 55mm diameter and 520mm length, featuring an 80N striker for clear fault indication. Designed for SF6-insulated or compact air-insulated fused switchgear, it offers ultra-low power dissipation, rated at 35W at 16A, and provides fast fault interruption before peak current is reached. The fuse body is constructed from class F insulating synthetic material, with nickel-plated aluminum end contacts, pure silver fuse elements, and a high-temperature composite fuse element holder. Its compact design ensures reliable performance in HV bays and fuse-link chambers. Key specifications include a minimum breaking current of 80A and an operating I²t of 4.7 kA²s at its rated voltage. This fuse is an ideal choice for transformer backup protection in utility and industrial substations, ensuring operational continuity and equipment safety.
