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.
