Why Choose the Mersen S1000148 High Voltage Transformer Fuse?
The Mersen S1000148 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 incorporates controlled power dissipation (CPD), making it particularly suitable for modern compact switchgear where minimising heat build-up is critical.
Manufactured in accordance with IEC 60282-1, the S1000148 uses pure silver fuse elements, silver-coated copper contact caps and a high-strength ceramic body to provide dependable fault interruption and long operational life. Its controlled power dissipation design improves thermal performance without compromising protection.
Rated at 24 kV AC and 80 A, the Mersen S1000148 is designed for transformer protection in medium voltage power distribution systems. It features a 65 mm diameter, a 442 mm fuse length and an integrated 80 N striker for operation with compatible switchgear mechanisms.
