Overview

The Mersen VSP15-H is a specialized surge suppression fuse designed to protect Surge Protection Device (SPD) systems. Engineered by Mersen, this fuse (SKU: VSP15-H) is built to withstand 8/20 μSec surge pulses without prematurely opening. This critical functionality ensures that the SPD system has the opportunity to effectively react to and dissipate surge events. Unlike standard fuses rated for continuous current, the VSP15-H is specifically rated for surge pulses. Under AC short circuit conditions, these surge suppression fuses exhibit significant current-limiting capabilities, providing an additional layer of protection for your electrical infrastructure. Manufactured in the US, the VSP15-H offers reliable performance for SPD protection applications. Its double hole mount design facilitates secure installation in various configurations. The 600VAC rating and 15kA surge capacity are key specifications for ensuring compatibility and effectiveness within your surge protection strategy.
