Overview

The Mersen R082401 Protistor® Size 120 gR 750VDC 100A fuse is a high-speed semiconductor protection device designed for critical DC applications up to 750VDC. This square body fuse-link delivers ultra-fast response to overcurrent and short-circuit conditions, ensuring optimal protection for sensitive semiconductor devices such as diodes, thyristors, GTOs, and IGBTs in power conversion equipment. Key specifications include a gR classification per IEC 60269-4, a rated voltage of 750VDC, and a current rating of 100A. The fuse features a pre-arcing I²t of 1855 kA²s and a clearing I²t of 8800 kA²s, enabling rapid fault interruption while minimizing thermal stress on protected components. With a breaking capacity of 100kA, it reliably interrupts fault currents in demanding environments, including railway power and auxiliary circuits. The R082401 is engineered for elevated temperature operation, offering excellent cycling capability and low power dissipation of 330W. Its design includes flush ends with metric threads for secure mounting and a striker mechanism for automatic signaling upon fuse operation, enabling quick maintenance identification. The fuse is constructed with pure silver fuse elements embedded in solidified sand, ensuring controlled arcing characteristics and enhanced reliability. Ideal for applications requiring precise overcurrent protection, the R082401 is commonly used in the protection of inverters, motor drives, UPS systems, and railway power equipment operating at 750VDC or less. Part of Mersen’s DC semiconductor fuse-link range, this product meets modern equipment performance requirements with enhanced reliability and efficiency.
