Why Choose the Mersen R300717 High-Speed Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen R300717, catalogue reference A130UD71LLI280, is a Protistor® Size 71 high-speed semiconductor fuse developed to provide exceptional short-circuit protection for modern power conversion equipment. It is rated at 280A and is suitable for systems operating up to 1250VAC (IEC) and 1300VAC (UL).
Its ultra-fast aR operating characteristic is specifically engineered to protect sensitive semiconductor devices including diodes, thyristors and IGBT modules. Precision fuse elements embedded in solidified silica sand help minimise let-through energy (I²t) while delivering a high interrupting capacity during severe fault conditions.
The fuse features long slotted blade terminals, silver-plated contact surfaces, a robust square ceramic body and an integrated striker indicator capable of operating an optional microswitch for remote status indication, making it ideal for demanding industrial power electronic installations.
