Why Choose the Mersen V225648 Medium Voltage Cylindrical Fuse?
The Mersen V225648, also identified by the manufacturer part number FR20GC255C2, is a specialist medium voltage cylindrical fuse-link designed to provide dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for electrical systems operating at elevated voltages. It combines a 2 A rated current with a substantial 25.5 kV AC voltage rating.
The manufacturer designation 25500 CP GLC 20.340 2 identifies the fuse's principal voltage, operating designation, physical size and current rating. Its calibrated fuse element interrupts the protected circuit when excessive current occurs, helping limit damaging thermal and electrical stress on transformers, conductors, control equipment and connected components.
With a cylindrical 20 × 340 mm body, the Mersen V225648 provides a compact protection solution for specialist medium voltage equipment. It must be installed in a suitably rated compatible fuse holder and is suitable for auxiliary circuits, voltage transformers, signalling equipment, railway systems and industrial power distribution applications where dependable low-current protection is required.

Reliable Protection for Medium Voltage Equipment
Medium voltage fuse-links protect electrical systems by disconnecting a circuit when excessive current causes the internal fuse element to operate. Rapid fault interruption helps reduce the amount of damaging energy passing through transformers, switchgear, conductors and connected electrical components.
The Mersen V225648 combines a sensitive 2 A current rating with a high 25.5 kV AC voltage capability. This makes it particularly suitable for specialist auxiliary and protection circuits where conventional low-voltage fuses cannot provide the necessary insulation and operating-voltage performance.
