Why Choose the Mersen Y089468 High-Speed Cylindrical Fuse?

The Mersen Y089468, catalogue reference FD20GC150V4, is a high-speed cylindrical fuse-link designed to protect sensitive semiconductor devices and high-voltage DC electrical equipment. Part of the Mersen Protistor® 20 × 190 mm fuse range, it provides rapid fault interruption for power electronic systems where conventional industrial fuses may not operate quickly enough.

This fuse features a gR full-range operating characteristic, providing protection against both overload currents and short-circuit faults. Its low energy let-through helps limit thermal and electrical stress on semiconductor components, supporting improved equipment reliability and reduced risk of costly component damage.

With a rated current of 4 A and a rated operating voltage of 1500 V DC, the Y089468 is suitable for low-current circuits within industrial converters, railway equipment, renewable energy installations and other high-voltage DC systems. Its robust 20 × 190 mm cylindrical format enables installation in compatible fuse holders or mounting clips.

Key Advantages

  • High-speed semiconductor fuse protection for sensitive power electronic components.
  • 4 A rated current for low-current control and auxiliary circuits.
  • 1500 V DC voltage rating for demanding high-voltage systems.
  • gR full-range characteristic provides overload and short-circuit protection.
  • Low energy let-through helps minimise damage to semiconductor devices.
  • Durable cylindrical construction supports reliable industrial operation.

Key Features

  • Mersen Protistor® high-speed cylindrical fuse-link.
  • Manufacturer reference: Y089468.
  • Catalogue reference: FD20GC150V4.
