Why Choose the Mersen FR10GR69V20 Protistor® Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen FR10GR69V20, also identified by item number E1014580, is a high-speed Protistor® cylindrical semiconductor fuse engineered to protect sensitive power electronic equipment against damaging overload and short-circuit currents. Its compact design, rapid operation and high interrupting capacity make it suitable for industrial systems where dependable semiconductor protection is essential.
This fuse has a rated current of 20 A and an IEC rated voltage of 690 V AC. Its gR full-range operating characteristic provides protection against both small overload currents and high short-circuit currents, helping safeguard semiconductor devices throughout a broad range of fault conditions.
With a standard 10 × 38 mm cylindrical format, the FR10GR69V20 can be installed in compatible fuse clips and cylindrical fuse holders. Its ceramic body, silver-plated copper ferrules and low I²t performance support reliable operation in inverters, uninterruptible power supplies, variable-speed drives and other industrial power-conversion equipment.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Power Electronics
High-speed fuses such as the Mersen FR10GR69V20 are designed to interrupt fault currents before excessive thermal energy can damage semiconductor devices. Its current-limiting operation and low I²t values help protect components such as diodes, thyristors, rectifiers and insulated-gate bipolar transistors.
Unlike partial-range semiconductor fuses, the gR characteristic provides full-range protection against both overload and short-circuit conditions. This makes the FR10GR69V20 a versatile protection solution for compact power-conversion equipment, industrial motor controls and automation systems operating at up to 690 V AC.
Typical Applications
- Small industrial inverters and power converters.
- Uninterruptible power supply systems.
- Variable-speed and variable-frequency drives.
- Industrial motor-drive equipment.
- Rectifiers and semiconductor power supplies.
- Power semiconductor protection circuits.
- Automation and machine-control equipment.
- Industrial power-electronic assemblies.
