Overview

Mersen Limitor®-PTS high-voltage back-up fuse-link (SKU: J1032961) is a VDE T402 certified 36kVAC-rated fuse designed for transformer protection in air or gas-insulated switchgear. This 25A-rated fuse features a 56mm diameter and 537mm length, with a thermal striker rated at 80N to prevent overheating in fuse compartments. Engineered for low power dissipation, it minimizes energy losses while maintaining high breaking capacity. The fuse-link utilizes pure silver fuse elements, silver-coated copper caps, and a ceramic body for superior thermal and mechanical performance. Siemens and Ormazabal endorse Limitor®-PTS fuses for their gas-insulated switchgear applications. Key benefits include reduced maintenance costs due to lower power losses, enhanced safety via thermal striker activation, and compatibility with standard DIN back-up fuse systems. Ideal for transformer protection in utility, industrial, and renewable energy installations where reliability and efficiency are critical. The fuse-link has a breaking capacity of 63kA and a clearing I²t of 6500 A²s. Its low power losses are quantified at 73W at rated current. The thermal striker's 80N rating ensures timely activation to mitigate thermal issues. The construction with pure silver fuse elements and silver-coated copper caps contributes to its robust performance. The ceramic body provides excellent thermal and mechanical resilience. This fuse is specifically designed as a DIN back-up fuse for transformer protection.
