Why Choose the Mersen B081812 High Voltage Fuse Link?
The Mersen B081812, also identified as 36GD32V32, is a high voltage cylindrical fuse link designed to provide reliable protection for transformers, switchgear and medium-voltage electrical distribution systems. Rated at 32 A and 3.2 kV AC, it delivers dependable overcurrent protection for industrial and utility applications.
Manufactured by Mersen (formerly Ferraz Shawmut), the B081812 features a 36 × 190 mm cylindrical construction without an integrated striker. Its current-limiting design rapidly interrupts fault currents, helping minimise thermal and mechanical damage to transformers, cables and associated switchgear during electrical faults.
The manufacturer description 3200 CP GLD 36.190 32 identifies the fuse's voltage class, GLD operating characteristic, physical dimensions and current rating. Designed for demanding industrial environments, it provides dependable protection where reliable medium-voltage circuit interruption is essential.
