Overview

The Mersen S1006105 is a high-voltage DIN back-up fuse specifically engineered for transformer protection, adhering to the stringent requirements of IEC 60282-1 and VDE 0670 T4 standards. This robust fuse-link boasts a 12kVAC voltage rating, delivering dependable short-circuit protection for transformers operating at a rated current of 160A. Its breaking capacity is rated at 31.5kA, ensuring it can safely interrupt fault currents. Constructed with a durable ceramic body, the fuse incorporates silver fuse-elements and silver-plated copper caps, which are critical for achieving superior thermal and electrical performance, minimizing resistance and heat generation during operation. The S1006105 exhibits a low cold resistance of 4.07mΩ and a power dissipation of 170W when operating at its rated current, underscoring its efficiency and ability to manage energy effectively while maintaining essential safety margins. Its physical dimensions are optimized for compatibility with standard DIN mounting systems, featuring a diameter of 88mm and a length of 442mm (designated as L442mm). For enhanced operational awareness and fault management, the fuse is equipped with an integrated striker mechanism that exerts a force of 80N. This striker provides both visual and mechanical indication upon fuse operation, facilitating rapid identification of faults within high-voltage switchgear. Certified for critical transformer applications, this fuse-link is a key component of Mersen's esteemed Limitor®-P series, a product line recognized for its reliability and long-standing presence in industrial and utility power distribution systems. The S1006105 is manufactured in the United States, ensuring quality production, and is readily available through distribution by Gross Automation.
