Overview

The Mersen Z098600 Protistor® fuse-link (SKU: Z098600) is a high-speed cylindrical fuse designed for DC applications requiring semiconductor protection. This 27x60mm gR (gRB) fuse is rated for 660VDC and 6.3A, with a pre-arcing I²t of 617 A²s and clearing I²t of 2900 A²s at rated voltage. It features a striker for visual blown-fuse indication and is manufactured in the US to IEC standards. Key specifications include a rated breaking capacity of 160 kA and power dissipation of 12.5W at rated current. The fuse is optimized for high-speed operation in critical DC circuits such as railway power systems, auxiliary systems, and other semiconductor applications where rapid fault response is essential. The gR (gRB) classification ensures compatibility with IEC 60269-4 standards for semiconductor protection, offering lower I²t values to minimize damage during short circuits. Mersen’s Protistor® series is engineered for elevated temperature operation, reduced power dissipation, and improved efficiency, extending equipment lifespan while maintaining reliable protection. This fuse-link is a direct replacement for applications requiring high-speed DC fuse protection with striker indication.
