Overview

The Mersen J322169 is a high-speed fuse-link from the Protistor® series, specifically designed for semiconductor protection. This NH Size 00 gS fuse operates at 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL), with a rated current of 160A. Engineered to provide maximum flexibility and ultimate protection for power conversion equipment, it is manufactured to DIN 43620/00 standards for seamless integration into NH modular system fuse-holders and fuse switch disconnectors. The fuse-link features pure silver, die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, ensuring controlled arcing characteristics for a lower I²t and a high interrupting rating of 200 kA. Its construction includes silver-plated contact surfaces and non-magnetic hardware. The J322169 is equipped with a double indicator, allowing for visual confirmation of its status and the option to operate a low voltage trip-indicator microswitch. Key specifications include a pre-arcing I²t of 2070 A²s and a clearing I²t at rated voltage of 12200 A²s. Power dissipation at In is 30.5 W. Manufactured in the US, this fuse-link offers robust protection for diodes, thyristors, GTO's, and IGBT devices, making it an essential component for demanding industrial applications.
