Overview

The Mersen G301996 Protistor® Size 2x72 aR is a high-speed fuse designed for semiconductor protection in power conversion equipment. This square body fuse-link operates at 650VAC (IEC) with a rated current of 2200A and a breaking capacity of 150kA. Engineered with die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, it delivers superior arc control for lower I²t values and high interrupting ratings. The fuse features flush ends with metric threads (M10 or M12) and an Omega connection for versatile mounting. All contact surfaces are silver-plated, and hardware is non-magnetic for corrosion resistance. Optional low-voltage trip indicators with microswitch activation are available for enhanced monitoring. With a power dissipation of 330W and a package weight of 2.5kg, this fuse is optimized for high-power applications including IGBTs, thyristors, and diodes. The Protistor® series is built for reliability in industrial environments where precise fault protection is critical. Compatible with Mersen fuse holders and mounting systems, this fuse ensures fast response times to protect sensitive semiconductor devices from overcurrent conditions. The striker mechanism provides visual or mechanical indication of fuse operation for immediate system diagnostics.
