Why Choose the Mersen C091082 High-Speed Cylindrical Fuse?
The Mersen C091082, also identified as FR20GB10C16P and 20GB10V16P, is a specialist high-speed cylindrical fuse-link designed for protecting sensitive electrical and electronic equipment against damaging overcurrents. Rated at 16 A, it is particularly suited to auxiliary circuits, control systems, measurement equipment and power conversion applications requiring rapid fault interruption.
Part of Mersen's established Protistor protection range, the C091082 features a full-range gLB operating characteristic. Its fast current-limiting performance helps reduce peak fault current and the amount of damaging energy passed into downstream equipment, supporting improved reliability and reduced component stress.
The fuse has a robust 20 × 127 mm ceramic cylindrical body with durable metallic contacts and an integrated striker indicator. It is designed for compatible fuse clips and holders in high-voltage industrial systems, providing a dependable replacement solution for control, monitoring and transformer-related circuits.

Reliable Protection for Sensitive Electrical Equipment
High-speed fuse-links operate rapidly during electrical faults to protect equipment that can be damaged before conventional general-purpose protection devices respond. The Mersen C091082 limits the peak fault current and reduces the energy passed through the circuit, helping protect sensitive control, monitoring and power electronic components.
The full-range gLB characteristic enables the fuse to provide protection across a broad range of fault conditions. Correct selection should consider the circuit voltage, continuous current, prospective short-circuit current, equipment characteristics and coordination with associated protection devices.
Typical Applications
- Industrial auxiliary and control circuits.
- Measurement and monitoring equipment.
- Power conversion and rectifier systems.
- Transformer protection circuits.
- Industrial automation equipment.
- High-voltage AC and DC distribution systems.
