NGT3 Semiconductor Protection Fuse FAQs
1、What is the difference between a semiconductor fuse and an HRC fuse?
A semiconductor fuse (like GRL NGT3) is a high-speed, ultra-rapid fuse designed to protect semiconductor devices such as IGBTs and diodes. It interrupts the current in microseconds to prevent damage to sensitive components. In contrast, HRC (High Rupturing Capacity) fuses are general-purpose protection devices that operate more slowly and are used in broader electrical circuits.
2、What is an IGBT protection fuse, and how does it work?
An IGBT protection fuse like the NGT3 is designed to clear overcurrents before the IGBT’s junction overheats. The NGT3’s ultra-rapid fuse element and low I²t design interrupt short circuits instantly, preserving semiconductor integrity and ensuring long equipment life.
