FAQ

What does the ‘aR’ class rating signify for this fuse?

The ‘aR’ class rating indicates it is a partial-range, very high-speed fuse specifically designed for short-circuit protection of semiconductors like diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs. It is not intended for overload protection, which should be handled by another device in the circuit.

Can this PC31UD69V400A fuse be used in a DC circuit?

While primarily rated for 690V AC, many high-speed fuses can be used in DC applications, but typically at a de-rated voltage. You must consult the official Mersen datasheet for this specific model to verify its DC voltage rating and time-constant (L/R) limitations before using it in any DC circuit.

What are the proper mounting torque specifications for the terminals?

Proper mounting torque is critical to prevent overheating at the terminals. According to the Mersen datasheet for size 31 square body fuses, the recommended tightening torque is typically around 20-25 N-m (Newton-meters). Always confirm with the latest datasheet to ensure safe and reliable operation.
