Semi Conductor Fuses

In today’s industry avoiding down-time can be the same as creating income. Not using fuses for semiconductor protection would have catastrophic consequences. Power supply and IGBT output at frequency inverters (low and medium power) are encapsulated. Removing components such as diodes / transistors (IGBTS) is impossible. You must buy a new device!
To prevent unnecessary damage, you must confirm that your device includes high speed fusing at the time of installation. For the protection of drivers, most of the manufacturers seem to have accepted circuit breakers despite many advantages are not an option for protection drives.
The operational characteristics for circuit breakers are simply too slow, allowing too much energy to pass through. So, fuse is the obvious choice.

Semiconductor protection fuses is one of the fastest growing market in today’s world. These fuses are used to protect against over-current conditions in semiconductors devices. Because of their fast action, semiconductor fuses help to limit the short circuit current significantly.

Availability of Semi Conductor Fuses

Semiconductor fuses are available in several different enclosures and at least two different ranges:

• * gR-type: full range protection. Overload and short circuit protection.
• * aR-Type: partial range protection. Short circuit protection only. Faster acting than full range fuses.

Advantages of Using Semi Conductor Fuses

Semiconductor fuses are designed for the protection of semiconductors, primarily SCRs, thyristors, transistors, triacs, and similar solid state devices. Then
Semiconductor fuses provide the following advantages:

• Simple to use
• Reliable
• Faster acting than regular fuses
• Available in convenient mounting options

Semiconductor fuses are available in a wide range – from 1 A through to 7,500A with specifications ranging from IEC through to UL.
