Mersen N320379 Square Body High-Speed Fuse Protistor® NH Size 1 aR 690VAC IEC 700VAC UL 315A With…

The rated voltage for these fuses is 690 VAC according to IEC standards and 700 VAC according to UL standards.

The ampere range for these Protistor fuses is from 16 A up to 1000 A.

These fuses are engineered to protect semiconductors such as diodes, thyristors, GTO's, and IGBT devices.

These fuses comply with aR Class according to VDE 636-23 and IEC 60269-4, and are UL/CSA Recognized Components.

Key features include multiple body sizes, aR Class rating, very low I²t for semiconductor protection, ultra-fast acting, current limiting, superior cycling capability, and an indication system.

These fuses are suitable for protecting equipment rated at 700V or less, including inverters, UPS systems, and motor drives.

The rated breaking capacity for most sizes is 80 kA, with some sizes reaching up to 170 kA.

Each fuse-link can be equipped with a low voltage trip-indicator that can operate a field mountable microswitch.

The available sizes for these Protistor fuses are NH 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, and 3.

The fuses are assembled with pure silver, die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand to control arcing characteristics.
