The Mersen L079429 (D72SG120V200QF) is a Protistor® Size 72 square body high-speed semiconductor fuse designed to provide exceptional protection for power semiconductors, railway traction equipment, battery energy storage systems and high-power DC circuits. Engineered specifically for demanding DC applications, it delivers rapid fault interruption while minimising damage to sensitive electronic components.
Rated at 200 A and 1200 V DC (IEC), the fuse features an aR operating characteristic for semiconductor short-circuit protection, an integrated striker indicator for remote status indication and robust silver-plated copper L-bracket terminals for secure bolted installation. Its low I²t characteristics and low power losses help maximise equipment protection and operational reliability.
As part of the Mersen Protistor® semiconductor protection range, the L079429 is optimised for modern power conversion equipment operating at elevated temperatures, offering outstanding current limitation and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
High-speed semiconductor fuses are specifically engineered to protect sensitive power electronic devices including IGBTs, diodes, thyristors and converters. Their extremely fast fault-clearing performance limits the energy passing into protected devices, reducing repair costs and improving overall system reliability.
The Mersen Protistor® range is widely used in railway traction, renewable energy installations, battery storage systems, industrial converters and EV charging infrastructure where dependable semiconductor protection is essential.
