Why Choose the Mersen P097464 High-Speed Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen P097464 is a Protistor® high-speed semiconductor fuse-link engineered to provide ultra-fast protection for sensitive power electronic equipment. Also identified by the catalogue number BS236UU69V400T, this fuse is specifically designed to protect semiconductor devices against damaging short-circuit currents while delivering exceptional current-limiting performance.
Featuring an aR partial-range operating class, the P097464 rapidly interrupts fault currents before excessive energy can damage diodes, thyristors, IGBTs, rectifiers and other semiconductor components. Its high breaking capacity and low let-through energy help improve equipment reliability and reduce costly downtime.
With a rated current of 400 A, a rated voltage of 690 V AC and a 2 × 36 × 55 mm British Standard square-body format, the Mersen P097464 is ideal for industrial drives, converters, UPS systems, renewable energy equipment and other demanding power conversion applications. The integrated striker provides convenient fuse-operation indication and supports remote signalling using compatible accessories.

Designed for Critical Power Electronics
The Mersen P097464 delivers extremely fast interruption of high fault currents before semiconductor junctions can be damaged. Its advanced current-limiting design reduces thermal and mechanical stress on power electronic assemblies, helping maximise equipment availability and extend component life.
As an aR-class fuse, the P097464 provides dedicated protection against semiconductor short-circuit faults. Appropriate overload protection should be provided elsewhere within the electrical system where full-range circuit protection is required.
Typical Applications
Variable frequency drives.
Industrial motor control systems.
Power converters and rectifiers.
Industrial inverters.
UPS equipment.
Battery charging systems.
Renewable energy power conversion equipment.
Semiconductor-controlled industrial machinery.
Reliable Installation and Monitoring
The robust square-body construction and bolted blade terminals provide dependable electrical connections for demanding industrial environments. The integrated striker can be used with compatible Mersen microswitch accessories to provide remote fuse-status indication for monitoring and maintenance systems.
