Mersen Y081786 FR36GD32C80P cylindrical medium-voltage fuse-link rated at 3.2 kV AC and 80 A, with a 36 x 190 mm gLD construction and integrated striker for public lighting and distribution circuit protection.
£175.02
The Mersen Y081786, also designated FR36GD32C80P and 36GD32V80P, is a cylindrical medium-voltage fuse-link designed to protect public lighting networks, transformers and specialised electrical distribution equipment against damaging overcurrents and short-circuit faults. Its current-limiting operation helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stress imposed on protected equipment during severe fault conditions.
Manufactured by Mersen, formerly known as Ferraz Shawmut, the Y081786 combines a robust insulating body with metallic end contacts for dependable operation in demanding infrastructure and industrial environments. Its gLD operating characteristic provides effective fault protection for appropriately coordinated medium-voltage circuits.
With a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC, a rated current of 80 A and a cylindrical 36 × 190 mm format, the Mersen Y081786 is suitable for installation in compatible medium-voltage fuse holders. An integrated striker can operate suitable indication, interlocking or switchgear tripping mechanisms when the fuse-link operates.
Medium-voltage fuse-links interrupt excessive current before it can cause extensive thermal or mechanical damage to cables, transformers, switchgear and connected equipment. When a short circuit occurs, the internal fuse element operates rapidly and the resulting electrical arc is controlled and extinguished inside the fuse body.
The Mersen Y081786 limits both the peak magnitude and duration of fault current, helping protect the wider electrical installation. Its striker can also activate a compatible switchgear mechanism, supporting clear fault indication and coordinated isolation of the affected circuit.
