Why Choose the Mersen S081482 Medium Voltage Fuse?
The Mersen S081482, also identified as 55GD55V32P, is a robust medium voltage current-limiting fuse designed to protect transformers, switchgear and electrical distribution equipment against damaging overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. Manufactured by Mersen, it delivers dependable fault interruption for demanding industrial and utility power systems.
The S081482 uses current-limiting fuse technology to reduce the peak current and electrical energy passed into connected equipment during a fault. This helps minimise thermal and mechanical stress, supporting improved equipment protection and reducing the potential for extensive damage within medium voltage installations.
With a rated current of 32 A, a rated voltage of 5.5 kV AC and a substantial 55 × 259 mm cylindrical body, the Mersen S081482 is suitable for medium voltage distribution assemblies. Its integrated striker provides a mechanical indication when the fuse has operated and may support compatible trip or signalling mechanisms.
