Overview

The Mersen R301637 Protistor® fuse-link, SKU R301637, is a Size 71 gR high-speed fuse designed for critical semiconductor protection in 690VAC power conversion systems. Engineered with pure silver, die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, this fuse ensures rapid interruption of overloads and short circuits. It features a pre-arcing I²t of 61.7 kA²s and a clearing I²t of 360 kA²s, providing robust protection for sensitive components. Rated for 450A continuous current, it offers a substantial 150kA interrupting rating at 690VAC. The fuse dissipates 61W at its rated current. Its square body design incorporates DIN 110 blades for global mounting compatibility and includes an integrated striker for remote tripping via microswitch activation. All contact surfaces are silver-plated, and hardware is non-magnetic to enhance operational reliability. This fuse is ideal for applications such as inverters, converters, and motor drives where fast-acting, reliable semiconductor protection is paramount. Manufactured in France.
