Why Choose the Mersen R300625 High-Speed Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen R300625, catalogue reference PC72UD11C630EF, is a Protistor® Size 72 high-speed semiconductor fuse designed to protect sensitive power-conversion equipment against damaging fault currents. Rated at 630A, the fuse supports operating voltages up to 1100VAC under IEC standards and 1200VAC under UL standards.
Its ultra-fast aR operating characteristic makes the R300625 particularly suitable for protecting power semiconductors such as diodes, thyristors and insulated-gate bipolar transistors. Rapid interruption helps limit the thermal and electrical energy transferred to valuable semiconductor devices during short-circuit conditions.
The fuse features a robust square ceramic body, silver-plated open-slot blade contacts and an integrated striker for fault indication or operation of a compatible microswitch. Its bolted mounting arrangement provides a secure connection in industrial power systems, variable-speed drives, rectifiers, inverters and other high-power electronic equipment.

Fast and Reliable Semiconductor Protection
Power semiconductors can be damaged extremely quickly when exposed to excessive current. The Mersen R300625 uses specially engineered fuse elements embedded in solidified sand to control internal arcing and interrupt severe fault currents rapidly. This construction helps deliver low let-through energy and a high interrupting capability.
The fuse is designed for partial-range short-circuit protection and should be coordinated with the equipment’s overload-protection system. Correct fuse selection requires consideration of operating voltage, continuous current, prospective fault current, thermal cycling, cooling conditions and the I²t withstand capability of the protected semiconductor.
Typical Applications
- Variable-speed motor drives.
- Industrial power converters.
- Rectifiers and inverters.
- Uninterruptible power supplies.
- Battery energy-storage converters.
- Industrial heating equipment.
- Welding power supplies.
- Protection of diodes and thyristors.
- Protection of IGBT power modules.
- High-power automation equipment.
