Overview

The Mersen Protistor® Y1018622 is a high-speed cylindrical fuse designed for semiconductor protection in industrial power systems. This IEC 60269-4 compliant fuse features a 20A current rating, 690VAC rated voltage, and a compact 22x58mm size. It includes a striker for clear trip indication, enabling immediate visual fault detection in critical applications. Engineered for high interrupting capacity, the Protistor® Y1018622 delivers 160kA AC interrupting rating (IEC) and 200kA AC (UL), ensuring robust protection against short circuits and overloads. The gR speed/characteristic provides rapid response to faults, safeguarding sensitive power semiconductor devices. With a power dissipation of 7W at nominal current and pre-arcing I²t of 17.1 A²s, this fuse maintains system stability while minimizing energy loss. Applications include motor drives, inverters, converters, and other power electronics where precise fault interruption is required. The 22x58mm cylindrical design allows direct replacement in standard fuse holders, supporting selective coordination in distribution circuits. Available in models with or without trip-indicators, the Y1018622 offers flexibility for installation requirements.
