Why Choose the Mersen BTIA55V2 BS88 Offset Tag Fuse?
The Mersen BTIA55V2 is a compact BS88 offset tag fuse-link designed to provide dependable protection for low-current industrial and commercial electrical circuits. With a rated current of 2 A and an operating voltage of up to 550 V AC, it is suitable for protecting control circuits, instrumentation, auxiliary supplies and sensitive electrical equipment.
As part of the established Mersen BTIA fuse-link family, the BTIA55V2 helps interrupt excessive current before it causes serious thermal damage to conductors, switchgear or connected devices. Its current-limiting operation reduces the amount of fault energy passed into downstream equipment during a short circuit.
The fuse-link features a robust offset tag construction for secure installation in compatible BS88 fuse holders and bolted fuse assemblies. Its low 2 A rating makes it particularly suitable for applications where precise protection of small conductors, control transformers and auxiliary electrical circuits is required.

Reliable Protection for Low-Current Circuits
The Mersen BTIA55V2 is designed for circuits that require a low fuse rating combined with a high AC voltage capability. It helps protect small conductors and sensitive electrical components by interrupting abnormal current before excessive heat can damage insulation, terminals or downstream equipment.
During a severe fault, the fuse-link operates rapidly and limits the energy released into the protected circuit. This makes it a practical choice for industrial control systems, instrumentation panels and auxiliary electrical supplies where reliable isolation and dependable fault protection are essential.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control circuits.
- Instrumentation and monitoring equipment.
- Auxiliary power supplies.
- Control transformers.
- Machine control panels.
- OEM electrical assemblies.
