Overview

The Mersen MEV55C10-P is a specialized DC fuse designed for electric and hybrid vehicle (EV/HEV) applications, offering critical over-current protection for battery packs and auxiliary circuits. This fuse operates at a maximum of 550 VDC and features a rated current (In) of 10A. It provides a high interrupting rating (IR) of 20 kA at 550 VDC with a fast response time, indicated by L/R ≤ 1ms. The MEV55C series is engineered for DC applications, delivering low watt losses and high cycling performance. Its ultra-compact size and slot-mount design facilitate integration into Battery Disconnect Units (BDU), Battery Junction Boxes for auxiliaries, and Maintenance Safety Disconnects (MSD). The minimum breaking capacity (MBC) is as low as 2xIn, ensuring precise cable protection. Tested to JASO D622 standards for power cycling and vibration resilience, this fuse meets automotive industry quality requirements. The EVpack-fuse line-up is part of Mersen's DC Over-Current Protection (O.C.P.) portfolio. Current ratings for the MEV55C series range from 5A to 50A, making it suitable for battery pack protection, electrical energy storage systems, supercapacitor packs, and backup protection for DC relays, disconnectors, and switches.
