Overview

The Mersen Protistor® T098595 is a high-speed cylindrical fuse-link designed for demanding DC applications. This 27x60mm fuse operates at 660VDC with a 5A rating and features a gR (gRB) classification, indicating its suitability for semiconductor protection. Engineered for extremely fast acting performance, it helps eliminate overloads and semiconductor faults. The Protistor® series offers low I²t values, crucial for improved semiconductor protection, and excellent cycling capability. Its design also allows for selective coordination with other fuses. The fuse-link is embedded with a trip-indicator, functioning as a striker mechanism for fault indication. Manufactured by Mersen, this fuse meets IEC standards for semiconductor protection. The international size of 27x60 mm ensures worldwide acceptance. While catalog data for similar AC models indicates an 800VAC rating and 90 kA interrupting rating, this specific T098595 model is rated for 660VDC and 5A, with a striker for fault indication. Applications include protection of DC power conversion equipment, inverters, UPS systems, and motor drives where fast-acting overcurrent protection is essential.
