Overview

The Mersen VSP20-2 (SKU: VSP20-2) is a specialized surge suppression fuse manufactured in the US. This ferrule-type fuse is rated for 600VAC and features a surge capacity of 20kA (8/20 μSec). Its primary function is to protect Surge Protective Device (SPD) systems by withstanding 8/20 μSec surge pulses without opening, allowing the SPD to manage transient overvoltages. Under AC short circuit conditions, the VSP20-2 provides significant current limiting capabilities. This product is categorized under UNSPSC code 39121606.
