Overview

The Mersen J227593 Limitor® FR-type HV UTE back-up fuse is a high-performance protection device designed for high-voltage/low-voltage power distribution transformers. Rated at 7.2kVAC and 63A, this fuse-link ensures precise coordination with other distribution equipment by interrupting fault currents before peak values are reached. Its current-limiting design provides rapid fault interruption within the fuse body, with no external indication of operation. Constructed for durability, the J227593 features a Class F insulating synthetic barrel, nickel-plated aluminum end contacts, and pure silver fuse elements to withstand high temperatures and mechanical stress in HV bays and fuse-link chambers. The composite fuse element holder enhances thermal resistance. With a minimum breaking current of 315A, power dissipation of 71W at rated current, and an operating I²t of 24 kA²s at rated voltage, this fuse is optimized for demanding electrical protection applications. Engineered for compatibility with SF6-insulated or compact air-insulated fused switchgear combinations, the J227593 is ideal for transformer protection in industrial and utility power systems. Its 55mm diameter, 520mm length, and 80N striker mechanism ensure reliable integration into existing infrastructure.
