For this reason there are ultra rapid fuse-links for this specific purpose, with very fast melting characteristics, low let-through energy values (I2t) and adequate selective coordination with protection devices upstream.<\/p>\n<p>Typical application comprise protection of  semiconductors (diodes, thyristors, triacs, etc) used in power rectifiers, UPS, converters, motor drives (AC and DC), soft starters, solid state relays, photovoltaic inverters, welding inverters and any  application where it i necessary to protect semiconductor devices.  <\/p>\n<p>RAPIDPLUS range comprise three sizes with  dimensions 10&#215;38, 14&#215;51 and 22&#215;58, with rated  currents between 4A and 100A and a rated voltage of 690 V AC. Sizes 14&#215;51 and 22&#215;58 are available also with striker, for use in fuse bases with  micro-switch. There are two operating classes aR and gR.<\/p>\n<p>Made of ceramic tube with high withstand to internal pressure and thermal chock, that allow a high  breaking capacity in a reduced physical space, as well as a good thermal conductivity. End caps are made of silver plated copper for optimal contact with fuse base. Melting elements are made of pure silver and have a special design to obtain low I2t values and reduced arc voltages, as well as good aging resistance.
