Overview

The Mersen M300092 Protistor® fuse-link is a square-body, ultra-fast acting aR class fuse designed for semiconductor protection in power conversion equipment. Rated for 160 Amperes at 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL), this fuse-link delivers precise fault interruption for critical components such as diodes, thyristors, IGBTs, and MOSFETs. Its open slot blades and striker mechanism provide clear trip indication, enabling rapid fault identification in high-performance systems. Engineered with die-cut fuse elements embedded in solidified sand, the M300092 minimizes arcing and achieves a lower I²t value, ensuring superior protection against overcurrent events. The fuse-link’s silver-plated contact surfaces and non-magnetic hardware enhance electrical conductivity and reliability, even in demanding industrial environments. An optional low-voltage trip-indicator can be fitted to actuate a field-mountable microswitch, enabling remote monitoring and system integration. The M300092 is part of Mersen’s Protistor® family, a trusted solution for applications requiring high-speed fault interruption and semiconductor-grade protection. Its compact square body design optimizes space in power conversion panels while maintaining robust interrupting ratings. With a rated breaking capacity of 200kA, this fuse-link ensures reliable performance in high-fault scenarios, making it ideal for use in variable frequency drives, UPS systems, and other critical power electronics. Key specifications include a pre-arcing I²t of 15.5 kA²s and a rated power dissipation of 60W at 350A, with a package weight of 0.30 kg. For applications demanding precision fault protection in semiconductor circuits, the M300092 delivers uncompromising performance and reliability.
