Overview

The Mersen L1000280 is a high-voltage DIN back-up fuse designed for transformer protection, specifically engineered to meet stringent international standards. It complies with IEC 60282-1 and VDE 0670 T402, ensuring reliable performance in critical applications. This Limitor®-P series fuse-link operates at a rated voltage of 24kV AC, making it suitable for medium-voltage systems where high reliability is essential. With a nominal current rating of 31.5A, it provides precise protection while maintaining operational efficiency. The fuse features a robust construction with a diameter of 56mm and a length of 442mm, designed for compatibility with standard DIN back-up fuse holders. Its internal components include pure silver fuse elements and silver-coated copper caps, housed within a high-strength ceramic body to withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stresses. This design ensures consistent performance under short-circuit conditions, minimizing the risk of failure. A key safety feature is the thermal striker, rated at 80N, which provides an additional layer of protection by signaling fuse operation or triggering auxiliary devices. This fuse is optimized for use in both air and gas-insulated switchgear, offering comprehensive thermal and dynamic protection for transformers. The minimum breaking current is 105A, ensuring reliable operation even at lower fault levels. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, this product is part of Mersen's high-voltage protection solutions portfolio, providing dependable performance in a wide range of environments.
