Fuses

Mersen DC offers provide a very high performant protection for railway power and auxiliary circuits. Mersen DC Semiconductor fuse-links were developed to provide improved performance required by today's new DC equipment. These fuse-links are typically operated at more elevated temperature than other fuse type, have lower I²t to minimize damage to protected components on short circuits, lower watts loss and longer life.

These Protistor® fuse-links provide maximum flexibility in equipment design and ultimate protection for today's power conversion equipment. These square body fuse-links are available in different body sizes, each size having multiple worldwide acceptable mounting styles.
The Protistor® have been engineered to provide state-of-the-art protection for semiconductors: diodes, thyristors, GTO's and IGBT devices. Fuses are assembled with pure silver, die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, which helps control arcing characteristics for a lower I²t and high interrupting rating level. All contact surfaces are silver plated and all hardware is non-magnetic.
All fuse-links can be equipped with a low voltage trip-indicator which can operate a field mountable microswitch.
