Overview

The Mersen X1018322 Limitor®-PTS HV DIN back-up fuse is a high-voltage protection device engineered for transformer safeguarding in air or gas-insulated switchgear. This 24kVAC-rated fuse operates at 50A with a breaking capacity of 63 kA and an I²t clearing value of 50 kA²s, ensuring robust short-circuit protection. The integrated 80N thermal striker actively prevents overheating within the fuse compartment, enhancing operational safety and system longevity. Constructed with pure silver fuse elements, silver-coated copper caps, and a durable ceramic body, this fuse delivers superior performance under thermal and dynamic stresses. Key specifications include a minimum breaking current of 205 A, cold resistance (R20) of 26 mΩ, and power dissipation of 106 W at rated current. The X1018322 measures 65mm in diameter and 442mm in length, weighing 2.2 kg. Compatible with high-voltage transformer protection applications, this fuse is a critical component in Mersen’s Limitor®-PTS series, trusted by leading switchgear manufacturers for reliability in both indoor and outdoor environments.
