EVpack-fuse line-up ensures dc over-current protection

By Michelle Froese | March 15, 2024

Learn more about the EVpack-fuse line here.

Mersen’s dc Over-Current Protection (O.C.P.) portfolio was specifically developed to address onboard electric and hybrid vehicle applications. The EVpack-fuse line-up is part of this portfolio, offering reliable clearing of dc fault currents in challenging environments and providing high-quality protection that complies with the automotive industry.

The MEV55C has been engineered and tested to provide best-in-class protection performance for auxiliary circuits, including:

  • Up to 550Vdc, Current rating (In)= 5 to 50A
  • Interrupting Rating (IR) = 20kA,L/R ≤1ms
  • Minimum Breaking Capacity (MBC) as low as 2xIn for ideal matching with cable protection

The MEV50A has been engineered and tested to provide best-in-class protection performance for main battery and on-board charging protection, including:

  • Up to 500Vdc, Current rating (In)= 60 to 800A
  • Interrupting Rating (IR) = 30kA, L/R ≤ 2.5ms
  • Minimum Breaking Capacity (MBC) as low as 2xIn or ideal matching with a dc contactor

Approvals and standards

  • Complies to Automotive IATF 16949:2016 Quality System
  • IEC 60 269-4
  • ISO 8820-8
  • JAS0 D622
