Why Choose the Mersen S1000125 High Voltage Transformer Fuse?
The Mersen S1000125 is a premium DIN high voltage back-up fuse-link designed to protect transformers and medium voltage electrical equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. As part of the trusted Mersen Limitor®-PT series, it features controlled power dissipation (CPD), making it particularly suitable for modern compact switchgear installations where reduced heat generation is essential.
Designed in accordance with IEC 60282-1, the S1000125 provides dependable transformer protection while reducing power losses inside enclosed switchgear. Manufactured using pure silver fuse elements, silver-coated copper contact caps and a robust ceramic body, it delivers reliable interruption performance and long operational life in demanding industrial and utility environments.
With a rated voltage of 12 kV AC and a rated current of 20 A, the Mersen S1000125 is ideal for medium voltage transformer protection. Its 56 mm diameter, 292 mm fuse length and integrated 80 N striker allow straightforward installation into compatible DIN fuse bases and switchgear.
