Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
The Mersen BTC69V50 operates by interrupting excessive current before it can cause serious damage to electrical cables, switchgear or connected equipment. During an overload or short circuit, the internal fuse element disconnects the affected circuit and limits the amount of damaging fault energy allowed to pass.
Its gG operating characteristic provides protection across the complete current range, making it suitable for panel builders, electrical contractors and maintenance engineers working with industrial machinery, control panels and power distribution equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical switchboards.
- Control panels and distribution boards.
- Low-voltage switchgear.
- Fuse switches and switch disconnectors.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Cable, conductor and equipment protection.
