Overview

The Mersen MEV70A60-4 EVpack Fuse is a high-reliability DC over-current protection device designed for electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Rated for 700VDC and 60A continuous current, this fuse delivers a maximum breaking capacity of 20kA with an L/R ratio ≤1ms, ensuring rapid fault clearing. Its minimum breaking capacity (MBC) of <3kA optimizes coordination with DC contactors, preventing nuisance tripping during high-inrush events like auxiliary loads (e.g., air conditioning). Engineered for DC applications, the MEV70A60-4 withstands harsh operating conditions while providing precise protection for battery packs and power electronics. The bolted connection design ensures secure, low-resistance electrical paths, reducing thermal stress and enhancing system reliability. With a UL certification and US-manufactured construction, this fuse is a trusted choice for critical DC protection in automotive and energy storage applications.
