Overview

The Mersen V086935 Protistor® Size 300 gR (gRC) high-speed fuse-link is rated 2000VDC and 40A, designed specifically for semiconductor protection in DC railway power and auxiliary circuits. This fuse-link meets IEC standards and features a striker mechanism with L-brackets for secure DIN rail mounting, ensuring reliable integration into new DC equipment requiring enhanced performance. Key specifications include a rated breaking capacity of 200kA, power dissipation of 155W at rated current, and a package weight of 0.88kg. The gR classification provides fast-acting response to overcurrents, minimizing damage to sensitive semiconductor components during short circuits. With lower I²t values (e.g., 170kA²s pre-arcing and 990kA²s clearing at rated voltage), this fuse-link limits thermal damage during faults while reducing power dissipation for improved system efficiency and extended operational life in critical DC systems. Compatible with Mersen Protistor® Size 300 fuse holders and designed for elevated temperature operation, this fuse-link is engineered for reliability in demanding DC applications such as traction power systems, auxiliary circuits, and new DC equipment requiring high-performance protection.
