Overview

The Mersen K300021 Protistor® fuse-link, SKU K300021, is an aR ultra-fast acting square body fuse designed for semiconductor protection. Rated for 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL), this 315A fuse features DIN 110 blades and a striker for trip indication. Engineered to provide protection for diodes, thyristors, and IGBT devices, it offers flexibility in equipment design for power conversion applications. The fuse-links are assembled with die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, which controls arcing characteristics to achieve a lower I²t and a high interrupting rating level. All contact surfaces are silver plated, and non-magnetic hardware is utilized. Each fuse-link can be equipped with a low voltage trip-indicator that can operate a field-mountable microswitch, enhancing system monitoring and safety. The Protistor® series provides protection for electronic components in industrial environments. Its robust construction and precise element design ensure reliable performance and extended equipment life.
