Semiconductor Fuse Overview
The GRL DNT000-O1M is the 1000 V DC version of the DNT000 series—a high-speed ceramic semiconductor fuse ideal for higher-voltage DC systems. This model is designed for power electronics architectures, EVs, large energy storage (ESS), and utility-scale solar inverters that require reliable, fast-acting DC protection at 1000 V. The DNT000-O1M safeguards semiconductor modules from damaging fault currents and ensures system reliability.
Given the global trend toward higher-voltage DC buses (e.g., 800–1000 V and beyond), the DNT000-O1M is positioned to serve next-generation power electronics platforms.

Semiconductor Fuse FAQs
1、What is the difference between DNT000-M1M and DNT000-O1M?
The key difference is the voltage rating. DNT000-M1M is rated for 800 V DC, while DNT000-O1M is rated for 1000 V DC. The 1000 V version is intended for higher-voltage designs, albeit with a narrower current range (25–250 A).
2、Why is a 1000 V ceramic fuse needed?
As power systems scale up, higher-voltage DC buses are increasingly used to reduce current and losses. To protect components in these architectures, semiconductor fuses must match the higher voltage rating without compromising breaking capacity or response time.
3、Can I substitute the DNT000-O1M for the M1M in an 800 V design?
Yes, provided that the current rating and fuse characteristics match your system needs, the O1M can typically handle lower-voltage use. But for optimal performance and cost, it’s better to use the voltage-specific variant.
4、What happens when the fuse “blows”? How do I service it?
Once the DNT000-O1M fuse element opens, it must be replaced. Always turn off system power, isolate DC circuits, and replace with a GRL-certified fuse of the same ratings. Be careful of residual stored energy in capacitors or DC links.
