FAE Expert Insights
"The PC series is Mersen's advanced high-voltage fuse technology. I've specified the PC100-1000 for several 800V EV charging and energy storage projects. The 1000V rating with 200kA breaking capacity is exceptional for high-voltage semiconductor protection. For SiC applications, the ultra-low I2t is critical - SiC devices are fast but sensitive to overcurrent. I always verify the fuse voltage rating exceeds the maximum DC link voltage by at least 20%. The PC series is my go-to recommendation for any application above 600V DC."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this fuse suitable for SiC MOSFET protection?
Yes, the PC100-1000 is excellent for SiC MOSFET protection. SiC devices have fast switching but lower overcurrent tolerance than silicon IGBTs. The PC series ultra-low I2t and fast opening time (<1ms) provide the protection needed for SiC devices. Verify the fuse I2t is less than the SiC MOSFET's avalanche energy rating. The 1000V rating accommodates 800V DC link systems common in SiC applications.
Verify fuse I2t < SiC device avalanche energy. Contact our FAE for SiC protection guidelines.
