Why Choose the Mersen C093658 High-Speed DC Fuse?
The Mersen C093658, catalogue reference DC10GC11C12, is a compact high-speed cylindrical fuse-link designed to protect sensitive power electronics and high-voltage DC circuits. Rated at 12 A and 1500 V DC, it provides rapid current-limiting protection for renewable energy, power conversion and industrial electronic equipment.
Its gLC operating characteristic provides full-range protection against both overload and short-circuit currents. By operating quickly when excessive current occurs, the C093658 helps reduce peak fault current and limits the damaging energy passed into semiconductor devices, control components and associated electrical equipment.
The fuse features a space-efficient 10 × 85 mm cylindrical format and durable ceramic construction. It is suitable for installation in compatible 10 × 85 mm fuse holders, providing a dependable protection solution for high-voltage DC systems where safety, reliability and low let-through energy are essential.
