Overview

The Mersen MDC08B100B is a specialized DC distribution fuse engineered for the critical protection of battery modules. Designed and tested by Mersen, this fuse provides essential back-up protection during shipping, transportation, and handling, ensuring the integrity of battery modules before system integration. The MDC08B Series utilizes proven fuse technologies to deliver optimal current limitation and maximum performance. A key feature is its slow melting time, crucial for achieving proper coordination with upstream fuses. This characteristic allows battery module manufacturers peace of mind, knowing their products are safeguarded during transit and that the battery will coordinate effectively with traditional fast-acting upstream fuses once installed in a system. With a voltage rating of 80 VDC and a current rating of 100 A, the MDC08B100B features a bolted connection type for secure installation. Its ultra-compact size and low watt losses contribute to efficient system design. The fuse offers high cycling performance and both low and high current interrupting capabilities, with a minimum breaking capacity (MBC) of 200A at 80VDC and an interrupting rating of 10kA. Applications include battery module protection, stationary DC systems, and battery systems. It is UL Recognized (File E60314).
