Why Choose the Mersen BTIS42V63M100 Motor-Rated Fuse Link?
The Mersen BTIS42V63M100 is a dependable motor-rated industrial fuse link designed to provide short-circuit protection for motors, cables, contactors and associated electrical equipment. Manufactured by Mersen, this fuse is intended for industrial motor circuits where reliable fault interruption and effective coordination with motor-starting equipment are essential.
Its 63M100 motor-circuit rating is designed to tolerate the temporary inrush current produced when an electric motor starts while still responding rapidly to damaging short-circuit currents. This helps prevent unnecessary fuse operation during normal starting conditions without compromising protection against serious electrical faults.
With a rated voltage of 415 V AC, the BTIS42V63M100 is suitable for compatible low-voltage industrial installations. Its bolted-tag construction enables secure mounting within an appropriately rated fuse carrier, switch-fuse assembly or motor-control panel.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Motor Circuits
Electric motors can draw several times their normal operating current during starting. A conventional fuse selected only according to the motor’s running current may operate unnecessarily during this temporary inrush. Motor-rated fuse links are designed to withstand normal starting conditions while providing rapid protection against high-level electrical faults.
The Mersen BTIS42V63M100 is typically used alongside a correctly selected overload relay or motor-protection device. The fuse provides short-circuit protection, while the overload device protects the motor against prolonged overcurrent conditions. Correct selection should consider the motor rating, starting method, starting duration, cable capacity and prospective fault current.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase industrial motor circuits.
- Motor control centres and starter panels.
- Pumps, fans and compressor systems.
- Conveyors and material-handling machinery.
- Manufacturing and processing equipment.
- Switch-fuse and industrial distribution assemblies.
