£80.78
The Mersen X081808, also identified as 36GD32V12, is a high-performance medium-voltage cylindrical fuse-link developed to protect transformers, public lighting networks and electrical distribution equipment against overloads and short-circuit faults. Manufactured by Mersen, formerly Ferraz Shawmut, it delivers reliable current-limiting protection for demanding industrial and utility applications.
Designed with a durable ceramic body and metallic end fittings, the fuse-link rapidly interrupts fault currents to minimise thermal and mechanical stress on protected equipment. Its dependable operating characteristics make it well suited to medium-voltage installations where equipment reliability and network continuity are critical.
With a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC, a rated current of 12 A and a standard 36 × 190 mm cylindrical body, the Mersen X081808 is intended for installation in compatible medium-voltage fuse holders. An integrated striker enables operation with suitable indication and switchgear tripping systems.
Medium-voltage fuse-links are designed to disconnect fault currents before they can damage transformers, switchgear and distribution equipment. Their current-limiting characteristics significantly reduce the energy released during a fault, helping improve equipment longevity and minimise downtime.
The Mersen X081808 is engineered for dependable operation in public lighting networks, transformer installations and medium-voltage distribution systems where fast fault clearance and reliable protection are essential.
