Overview

The Mersen L086996 Protistor® Size 300 gR high-speed fuse-link delivers precise DC semiconductor protection with a rated voltage of 1750VDC and a current rating of 16A. Designed for demanding railway power and auxiliary circuits, this fuse-link ensures fast-acting interruption to safeguard sensitive semiconductor components during short circuits. The gR designation confirms its suitability for semiconductor protection, offering lower I²t values compared to standard fuses, which reduces energy let-through and minimizes equipment damage. With plain blades for secure electrical connections, the L086996 integrates seamlessly into DC systems requiring high-speed fault protection. The striker mechanism enables immediate visual or remote indication of fuse operation, enhancing system reliability and maintenance efficiency. Mersen’s Protistor® fuse-links are engineered to meet stringent IEC standards, providing consistent performance in high-energy DC applications. This fuse-link is ideal for protecting inverters, converters, and other power electronics where rapid fault clearance is critical. SKU: L086996. Manufacturer: Mersen.
