Why Choose the Mersen BTIA69V32M36 Motor Circuit Fuse-Link?
The Mersen BTIA69V32M36 is a robust 32 A industrial motor circuit fuse-link designed to provide reliable short-circuit protection for motors, motor starters and associated electrical equipment. Its high-voltage construction makes it suitable for demanding industrial installations where dependable fault interruption is essential.
Designed primarily for motor circuits, the BTIA69V32M36 withstands the temporary current surges produced during motor starting while responding rapidly to damaging short-circuit currents. It is normally used alongside a correctly selected overload relay or motor protection device, which provides protection against sustained overload conditions.
With a 32 A current rating and a voltage rating of up to 690 V AC, the Mersen BTIA69V32M36 is suitable for motor control centres, industrial switchgear, machinery and production equipment. Its bolted-tag construction provides a secure electrical and mechanical connection within compatible fuse carriers and switching devices.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Motors
Industrial motors can draw several times their normal operating current during starting. A motor circuit fuse-link must therefore tolerate this temporary inrush current without unnecessary operation while still disconnecting the circuit quickly when a high-level fault occurs.
The Mersen BTIA69V32M36 is designed to provide this short-circuit protection while an overload relay, motor protection circuit breaker or electronic protection system monitors sustained overloads and phase-related faults. Correct coordination between these devices helps improve motor availability and minimise damage to contactors, cables and switchgear.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electric motors.
- Motor control centres.
- Direct-on-line and star-delta motor starters.
- Pumps, fans and compressor systems.
- Manufacturing and processing machinery.
- Industrial switchgear and control panels.
