The Mersen M081615, also identified as 36GB55V16, is a specialist medium-voltage cylindrical fuse-link designed to protect electrical distribution equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. Rated at 16 A and 5.5 kV AC, it is suitable for compatible industrial, infrastructure and public-lighting protection systems.
Manufactured as part of Mersen's Limitor medium-voltage fuse range, the M081615 provides rapid fault interruption and effective current limitation. This helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses imposed on cables, transformers, switchgear and other electrical equipment during severe fault conditions.
The fuse is identified by the manufacturer description 5500 CP GLB 36.250 16 and features a cylindrical body measuring approximately 36 × 250 mm. Its compact format supports installation within compatible medium-voltage fuse holders and professionally engineered protection assemblies.
Medium-voltage fuse-links interrupt excessive fault current before it can cause extensive thermal or mechanical damage within an electrical installation. Their current-limiting action restricts the peak current and reduces the total fault energy passed into cables, transformers, switchgear and other protected equipment.
The Mersen M081615 must be installed within a correctly rated and dimensionally compatible fuse holder. Selection should consider the system voltage, normal operating current, equipment characteristics, prospective short-circuit level and coordination with other protective devices.
