Reliable Protection for Industrial Power Electronics
Semiconductor devices can be permanently damaged within milliseconds when exposed to excessive fault current. The Mersen NH000UD69V40PV is designed to interrupt serious short circuits rapidly, limiting the peak current and I²t energy reaching connected power electronic components.
Correct fuse selection should account for the circuit voltage, continuous operating current, prospective short-circuit current, duty cycle and energy-withstand capability of the protected semiconductor. A general-purpose industrial fuse should not be used as a direct substitute unless its suitability has been confirmed by the equipment manufacturer.
Typical Applications
- Variable frequency drives and motor-control systems.
- Industrial inverters and power converters.
- Rectifier and thyristor protection circuits.
- Uninterruptible power supply systems.
- Battery chargers and DC power equipment.
- Industrial automation and electrical control panels.
