Why Choose the Mersen P092496 MC36GR2-5 Microswitch?
The Mersen P092496 is a dedicated fuse-operation microswitch accessory designed for compatible Mersen high-speed semiconductor fuse-links. Also identified as MC36GR2-5 or MC 36 GR 2-5, it enables the status of an associated fuse to be incorporated into an electrical monitoring, alarm or control circuit.
Developed for compatible BS88-4 fuse-links with separated or built-in trip indicators, the P092496 responds when the fuse indicator operates. This provides a practical method of generating a remote signal following fuse operation, helping maintenance teams identify faults quickly and reduce equipment downtime.
The Mersen P092496 is intended for use with compatible size 36 gR fuse arrangements in sizes 2 to 5. Its purpose-designed construction supports reliable mechanical interaction with the fuse indicator and straightforward integration into industrial drives, converters, rectifiers and other semiconductor protection assemblies.

Reliable Remote Fuse Monitoring
When a compatible fuse operates, its trip indicator actuates the Mersen P092496 microswitch. The resulting change of contact state can be used by a suitable external circuit to activate an alarm, illuminate an indicator, transmit a fault signal or initiate a controlled equipment response.
Remote indication is particularly valuable in enclosed control panels and multi-fuse installations, where visually inspecting every fuse would be time-consuming. By incorporating the microswitch into the control system, maintenance personnel can locate an operated fuse more efficiently and restore the equipment to service sooner.
Typical Applications
- Variable frequency drive panels.
- Industrial rectifiers and power converters.
- Inverters and semiconductor power assemblies.
- Uninterruptible power supply systems.
- Battery chargers and DC power equipment.
- Industrial control panels and alarm circuits.
- Machinery requiring remote fuse-status monitoring.
Purpose-Designed for Compatible Mersen Fuse Systems
The P092496 is engineered to operate with the trip-indicator mechanism of the specified Mersen fuse range. Selecting a purpose-designed accessory helps ensure correct alignment, dependable actuation and consistent signalling after fuse operation.
Before installation, confirm that the fuse-link has a compatible separated or built-in trip indicator and that its body size and series correspond with the MC36GR2-5 accessory. The microswitch contacts must also be connected within the ratings and requirements of the associated monitoring or control circuit.
