Y085558C British Standard BS88 Fuse 250V, 100A
The Y085558C is a British standard BS88 fuse in 250V and 100A. These extremely high breaking capacity fuses offer protection for power semiconductors as per IEC standard 60269-1 and -4.
- Extremely high breaking capacity fuses
- Ultra fast acting
- Designed without trip indicator
- aR class according to IEC 60269-4 and VDE 636-23
- Very low I2t for improved semiconductor protection
Offering a wide range of semiconductor fuses including European IEC (DIN, NF, BS) fuses and fusegear.
Semiconductor protection fuses are used to protect against overcurrent in power electronic equipment. Semiconductor fuses are specifically designed to reduce the I2t, peak let-through current and arc voltages during a fault to protect and isolate semiconductor components such as diodes, thyristors and SCRs.
