Overview

The Mersen Protistor® W301710 is a high-speed semiconductor protection fuse-link engineered for demanding AC power conversion applications. This Size 72 gR fuse operates at 690VAC (IEC) with a rated current of 350A, providing full-range protection against overloads and short-circuit faults in equipment operating at 690V or less. The square body design offers flexible mounting options, while flush ends with ISO metric threaded holes ensure secure installation in power conversion systems, inverters, motor drives, and UPS systems. Key specifications include a high interrupting rating of 150kA, low I²t values of 23.2 kA²s (pre-arcing) and 140 kA²s (clearing at rated voltage), and power dissipation of 58W at rated current. The fuse-link features pure silver, die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand for controlled arcing characteristics and improved semiconductor protection. All contact surfaces are silver-plated, and non-magnetic hardware is used for enhanced reliability in sensitive applications. Optional low-voltage trip-indicators are available to provide remote indication of fuse operation via field-mountable microswitches. With a package weight of 0.74 kg, this fuse-link delivers robust protection in compact, high-performance industrial environments where reliability and precision are critical.
