Overview

The Mersen P076166 is a high-performance Protistor® square body fuse-link, specifically designed for AC protection with an aR rating. Engineered by Mersen, a leader in electrical protection, this fuse-link offers robust protection for semiconductor devices such as SCRs, diodes, thyristors, GTOs, and IGBTs. Its pure silver die-cut elements are embedded in solidified sand, a construction that precisely controls arcing characteristics, resulting in low I²t values and a high breaking capacity. This specific model, SKU P076166, features a 350A rated current and operates at a maximum AC voltage of 1500V (IEC). The fuse-link is designed with flush ends and metric threads for secure mounting. All contact surfaces are silver-plated, and the hardware is non-magnetic to ensure optimal performance and longevity. A key feature is the integrated low-voltage trip-indicator, which can be easily connected to a field-mountable microswitch, allowing for remote indication of fuse status even while the fuse is in service. This design flexibility and advanced protection capability make the Mersen Protistor® fuse-links ideal for modern power conversion equipment where precise and reliable protection is paramount. The square body design, combined with various mounting styles and ampere ratings, provides engineers with significant flexibility in equipment design. The breaking capacity for this fuse-link is 126 kA at its rated voltage, ensuring it can safely interrupt fault currents. Power dissipation at rated current (In) is 86 W, contributing to efficient operation within the protected equipment. Manufactured in the US, this fuse-link adheres to stringent quality standards.
