Why Choose the Mersen BTC69V63M100 British Standard Fuse-Link?
The Mersen BTC69V63M100 is a high-performance British Standard gM fuse-link designed to provide reliable short-circuit protection for industrial motors and motor control equipment. Its motor-rated operating characteristic allows normal motor starting currents to pass while rapidly interrupting dangerous fault currents that could damage cables, contactors, switchgear and connected machinery.
As part of the established Mersen BTC motor fuse-link range, the BTC69V63M100 is suitable for use in motor starters, control panels, motor control centres and industrial distribution systems. Its current-limiting performance reduces the thermal and mechanical stresses produced during short-circuit conditions, helping to improve equipment safety and operational reliability.
Featuring a 63M100 motor circuit rating and a rated voltage of 690 V AC, this fuse-link is suitable for higher-voltage industrial motor applications. Its British Standard bolted tag construction provides a secure electrical and mechanical connection within compatible fuse holders, fused switches and switch-disconnector assemblies.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Motor Circuits
Industrial motors can draw several times their normal operating current during start-up. The Mersen BTC69V63M100 is designed to tolerate these temporary inrush currents while providing fast interruption when a serious short circuit occurs. This helps minimise damage to motors, conductors, contactors and associated control equipment.
As a gM fuse-link, the BTC69V63M100 is primarily intended to provide short-circuit protection. It should normally be coordinated with a suitable overload relay or electronic motor protection device to provide comprehensive protection against both sustained overloads and high fault currents.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor starters.
- Motor control centres.
- Pumps, compressors and ventilation equipment.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Manufacturing and processing machinery.
- Industrial switchgear and electrical control panels.
