Why Choose the Mersen H083428 Medium Voltage Fuse?
The Mersen H083428 is a compact and dependable medium voltage cylindrical fuse designed to protect compatible electrical circuits against damaging overcurrents and short circuits. Also identified by the commercial reference FR20GB15C8P, it provides current-limiting protection for specialised power distribution, control and public lighting applications.
Engineered for rapid fault interruption, the H083428 helps restrict the peak current and fault energy allowed to pass through the protected circuit. This reduces the thermal and mechanical stresses placed on conductors, switchgear and connected equipment, supporting improved system safety and operational reliability.
With a rated voltage of 1.5 kV AC, a rated current of 8 A and a compact 20 × 127 mm cylindrical body, the Mersen H083428 is suitable for compatible fuse holders and switching equipment. Its integrated striker mechanism can provide mechanical indication or operate associated switchgear after the fuse has interrupted a fault.
