Why Choose the Mersen N300622 Protistor® High-Speed Fuse?
The Mersen N300622, catalogue number PC72UD13C450EF, is a Protistor® Size 72 square body high-speed semiconductor protection fuse designed to provide ultra-fast short-circuit protection for modern power electronic equipment. Featuring an aR operating characteristic, it is specifically engineered to protect IGBTs, thyristors, diodes and other sensitive semiconductor devices used in demanding industrial applications.
Rated at 450 A, with a 1250 V AC IEC and 1300 V AC UL voltage rating, the N300622 delivers exceptional current limitation and dependable fault interruption. Its square body construction with open slot blade terminals and integrated striker provides flexible installation and reliable status indication in high-power electrical systems.
Manufactured using precision die-cut silver fuse elements embedded in solidified sand, the Protistor® design provides low let-through energy (I²t), helping minimise damage to expensive semiconductor devices while maximising equipment reliability and reducing downtime.
