Mersen P1018315 High Voltage DIN Back-up fuse for Transformer Limitor® VDE T402 12kVAC IEC 100A With…

The Limitor®-PTS fuses are available in 6/12 kV, 10/24 kV, and 20/36 kV rated voltage ranges.

These fuse-links are designed to protect transformers in combination with air or gas insulated switchgear against short-circuit effects.

Fuse-elements are made of pure silver, caps are silver-coated copper, and the body is ceramic.

The new thermal striker is patented by Mersen to prevent overheating in the fuse compartment of the switchgear.

Siemens and Ormazabal recommend Limitor®-PTS HV fuses for use in their gas-insulated switchgear.

Fuses with 6/12 kV have a length of 292mm, 10/24 kV have a length of 442mm, and 20/36 kV have a length of 537mm.

The breaking capacity (I1) for the 6/12 kV Limitor®-PTS fuses is 65 kA for currents up to 80 A and 80 kA for currents from 63 A to 160 A.

The minimum breaking current (I3) for a 100 A, 6/12 kV Limitor®-PTS fuse is 350 A.

The power dissipation at rated current for a 100 A, 6/12 kV Limitor®-PTS fuse is 105 W.

The cold resistance (R20) for a 16 A, 10/24 kV Limitor®-PTS fuse is 127 mΩ.
