GRL DNT3-R1J: Scaling Protection to 1100A with Reliable 1000V DC, 50kA Performance
Maximizing Power Density Safely
The GRL DNT3-R1J Ceramic Semiconductor Fuse Link is specifically engineered to meet the soaring demands of ultra-high-current DC power electronics. This fuse series scales protection capability, offering a substantial range from 315A up to 1100A, all while maintaining a consistent 1000V DC rating and a robust 50kA interrupting capacity. The DNT3-R1J allows system designers to consolidate protection for massive power stacks and busbars, ensuring that even the highest current modules receive precise, lightning-fast defense.
At the heart of the DNT3-R1J’s effectiveness is its aR-class designation and exceptional control over destructive energy.2 For systems operating near 1100A, the potential for catastrophic thermal damage during a fault is immense. The DNT3-R1J is engineered to deliver the lowest possible I²t value across its entire current range.
