Overview

The Mersen Protistor® X330185 is a high-speed fuse-link designed for semiconductor protection in AC applications. This NH 000 size fuse operates at 690VAC (IEC) and 700VAC (UL) with a rated current of 160A. Engineered for ultra-fast response with an aR rating, it features a pre-arcing I²t of 2680 A²s and a clearing I²t of 14000 A²s at rated voltage. The fuse offers a high interrupting rating of 200 kA, ensuring reliable protection for diodes, thyristors, and IGBT devices in small power conversion equipment. Constructed with die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, it controls arcing characteristics for optimal performance. Contact surfaces are silver-plated, and all hardware is non-magnetic. The fuse includes a striker for trip indication and DIN 80 blades for compatibility with standard mounting systems. Power dissipation at rated current is 36W, and the package includes 3 units weighing 0.24 kg each. Ideal for compact equipment configurations requiring precise semiconductor protection.
