Reliable Protection for Electrical Distribution Systems
The Mersen BTCP42V100 operates by interrupting excessive current before it can cause serious damage to cables, switchgear or connected electrical equipment. During an overload or short circuit, the internal fuse element isolates 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 the fuse suitable for panel builders, electrical contractors and maintenance engineers working with industrial machinery, commercial switchboards and low-voltage power distribution equipment.
