DNT2-R1J Series: The 1000V DC Ceramic Fuse Link for High-Current Power Stacks
The DNT2-R1J Ceramic Semiconductor Fuse Link is the cornerstone of reliable overcurrent protection for demanding high-power DC systems. Unlike general-purpose fuses, the DNT2-R1J is an aR-class device, meaning it is specifically engineered to provide ultra-fast isolation against short-circuit events, which pose the greatest threat to modern semiconductor components. With a substantial DC operating voltage of 1000V and an expansive current range from 250A up to 800A, this series steps up to meet the protection requirements of larger-scale power electronic converters and systems.
Protecting Your Investment with Low I²t
For engineers focused on maximizing the lifespan of IGBTs, thyristors, and power modules, the DNT2-R1J’s performance is defined by its exceptional current-limiting capabilities. The fuse is meticulously designed to yield the absolute lowest I²t value possible during a fault. This minimization of the melting integral ensures that the destructive thermal energy passed through the circuit is reduced to a bare minimum, preventing the protected device from reaching its thermal withstand limit. This feature makes the DNT2-R1J an essential component in protecting high-value assets within your system.
