Semiconductor Fuse SITOR, SILIZED Design

 

SILIZED, Bauform NEOZED und DIAZED

Overview

SILIZED is the brand name of the NEOZED fuses (D0 fuses) and the DIAZED fuses (D fuses) with super quick characteristic for semiconductor protection. The fuses are used together with fuse bases, fuse screw caps and accessories of the standard fuse system.

SILIZED fuses protect power semiconductors from the effects of short circuits because the super quick disconnect characteristic is far quicker than that of conventional fuses. They protect expensive devices and system components such as semiconductor contactors, static relays, converters with fuses in the input and in the DC link, UPS systems and soft starters for motors up to 100 A.

If using fuse bases and fuse screw caps made of molded plastic, always take into account the maximum permissible values of power loss due to the high power dissipation (power loss) of the SILIZED fuses. If using these components, the following maximum permissible power losses apply:

  • NEOZED D02: 5.5 W

  • DIAZED DII: 4.5 W

  • DIAZED DIII: 7.0 W.


For this reason, in some cases, a thermal permanent load of only 50 % is possible.

The DIAZED screw adapter DII for 25 A is used for the 30 A fuse link.


Benefits

  • SILIZED fuses have an extremely compact design. This means they have a very small footprint – particularly the NEOZED version.

  • The rugged and well-known DIAZED design complies with IEC 60269-3. It is globally renowned and can be used in many countries.

  • A huge range of fuse bases and accessories are available for the NEOZED and DIAZED versions of the SILIZED fuses. This increases the application options in many devices.
