Overview

The Mersen Protistor® M330268 is a high-speed fuse-link designed for semiconductor protection in power conversion equipment. This NH 00 size fuse operates at 690VAC with a rated current of 25A and features 'aR' (ultra-fast acting) characteristics, ideal for safeguarding sensitive semiconductor devices such as diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs. Its construction includes die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, which effectively controls arc energy and results in a low I²t value. The fuse offers a high interrupting rating of 200 kA, ensuring robust protection against short circuits. Key features include silver-plated contact surfaces and non-magnetic hardware for reliable performance and reduced magnetic interference. It is equipped with DIN 80 blades for secure and standardized connection. The M330268 supports a low-voltage trip-indicator for integration with microswitches, enabling enhanced system monitoring and fault signaling. This Protistor® fuse-link is essential for applications requiring precise and reliable protection in power electronics.
