DNT2-J1R Semiconductor Fuse FAQs
Q: Why is the I^2t value so critical for IGBT protection?
A: The I^2t value is the amount of thermal energy permitted through the fuse during a fault condition. Since the thermal withstand capability of an IGBT is extremely low—often measured in microseconds—choosing a High-Speed Fuse like the DNT2-J1R with the lowest possible I^2t value is the only reliable way to ensure the fuse opens the circuit before the IGBT’s thermal limits are exceeded. This is the ultimate guarantee of IGBT Protection.
Q: Is the DNT2-J1R suitable for VFD protection at high power levels?
A: Yes. While the AC 1300V Fuse rating is at the high end of the low-voltage spectrum, it is perfectly suited for use in many high-power VFD Protection applications, as well as in rectifier stacks where the AC input voltage or DC link voltage demands robust, high-voltage capable semiconductor protection. Always verify the specific time-current characteristics against your VFD’s fault curves for optimal performance.
Q: Does this fuse offer DC link protection in addition to AC rating?
A: Typically, Ultra-Rapid Fuses rated for high AC voltage also carry a defined DC voltage rating, making them ideal for DC Link Protection in high-power inverters, common in Renewable Energy systems. For the exact certified DC rating of the DNT2-J1R, please consult the official GRL product datasheet.
