Why Choose the Mersen A081788 36GD32V50P Medium-Voltage Fuse?
The Mersen A081788, also identified as 36GD32V50P, is a high-performance medium-voltage cylindrical fuse link designed to protect compatible electrical equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. Manufactured by Mersen under the established Ferraz Shawmut range, this specialist fuse combines a rated current of 50 A with a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC.
Its robust 36 × 190 mm cylindrical body is designed for installation in a suitably rated medium-voltage fuse holder or switchgear assembly. During a severe electrical fault, the fuse operates rapidly to interrupt the current, helping limit thermal and mechanical stress on transformers, cables, switchgear and other connected equipment.
The Mersen A081788 incorporates a striker mechanism for use with compatible indication and switching arrangements. Its current-limiting performance, compact construction and dependable Mersen engineering make it suitable for industrial power distribution, transformer protection and specialist medium-voltage control applications.

Dependable Medium-Voltage Circuit Protection
Medium-voltage fuse links interrupt excessive short-circuit current before it can cause serious damage to electrical equipment. Their current-limiting operation helps restrict the peak current and total energy passed into downstream components, reducing the thermal and electrodynamic effects of electrical faults.
The Mersen A081788 must be selected according to the system voltage, continuous load current, equipment inrush characteristics and prospective short-circuit current. Compatibility with the associated fuse holder, striker mechanism and switchgear must also be confirmed before installation.
Typical Applications
- Medium-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
- Industrial power distribution systems.
- Transformer protection assemblies.
- Industrial motor and power equipment.
- Medium-voltage auxiliary circuits.
- Maintenance and replacement fuse applications.
