Why Choose the Mersen H081496 Medium Voltage Fuse?
The Mersen H081496 is a dependable medium voltage cylindrical fuse designed to protect compatible electrical distribution systems against damaging short-circuit currents. Also identified by the commercial reference 55GD55V25, this specialised fuse provides current-limiting protection for industrial, infrastructure and public lighting applications.
Engineered for reliable fault interruption, the H081496 helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses imposed on cables, switchgear and connected equipment during a short circuit. Its robust cylindrical construction supports consistent performance in demanding medium voltage installations where electrical safety and continuity are essential.
With a rated voltage of 5.5 kV AC, a rated current of 25 A and a 55 × 259 mm cylindrical body, the Mersen H081496 is suitable for compatible fuse carriers and switchgear. This version is supplied without an integrated striker mechanism, making it important to confirm physical and electrical compatibility before installation.

Reliable Protection for Medium Voltage Systems
Medium voltage fuses protect electrical infrastructure by interrupting excessive fault currents before they can cause serious damage to switchgear, cables and connected equipment. Their current-limiting action restricts both the peak current and the energy permitted to pass through the circuit during a short-circuit event.
The Mersen H081496 combines a 25 A rating with a robust 55 × 259 mm cylindrical format. It is suitable for new installations, planned maintenance and replacement projects where its voltage rating, dimensions, fuse characteristic and non-striker configuration match the existing equipment.
