Tenso manufactures ultra-rapid semiconductor fuses — aR (partial-range) and gR (full-range) — to protect power semiconductors in drives, inverters, rectifiers and UPS. These devices fail in microseconds, so only a fuse with very low let-through energy (I²t) is fast enough: the fuse’s total I²t must be below the semiconductor’s withstand I²t, or the device isn’t protected. A standard gG fuse is far too slow. Send us the device withstand and operating voltage and we’ll coordinate the right aR / gR fuse. Ratings are indicative; confirm I²t coordination against the datasheet.

FAQ

Semiconductor Fuses (Fast-Acting) — questions buyers ask

Semiconductor fuse vs standard fuse?

Only an aR / gR semiconductor fuse is fast enough (low enough I²t) to protect IGBTs, thyristors and diodes; a standard gG fuse is far too slow.

What's the difference between aR and gR?

aR is partial-range — it protects against short circuits only and is used with another device for overload. gR is full-range — it covers both overload and short-circuit for the semiconductor.

How do I coordinate the fuse with my device?

The fuse's total let-through energy (I²t) must be below the semiconductor's withstand I²t. Send us the device withstand and we'll coordinate the fuse.
