Mersen Y081809 (36GD32V16) medium-voltage cylindrical fuse-link rated at 3.2 kV AC and 16 A with a 36 x 190 mm body for public lighting and electrical distribution protection.
£82.53
The Mersen Y081809, also designated 36GD32V16, is a high-performance medium-voltage cylindrical fuse-link developed to protect public lighting networks, transformers and electrical distribution equipment against overloads and short-circuit faults. Manufactured by Mersen, formerly Ferraz Shawmut, it delivers dependable 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 reliable operating characteristics make it well suited to medium-voltage installations where network continuity and equipment protection are essential.
With a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC, a rated current of 16 A and a standard 36 × 190 mm cylindrical body, the Mersen Y081809 is designed for installation in compatible medium-voltage fuse holders protecting public lighting and distribution circuits.
Medium-voltage fuse-links are designed to interrupt excessive fault currents before damage occurs to transformers, switchgear and associated electrical equipment. Their current-limiting characteristics reduce both the magnitude and duration of fault currents, helping improve equipment longevity and minimise maintenance costs.
The Mersen Y081809 is engineered for dependable operation in public lighting installations, transformer circuits and medium-voltage distribution systems where reliable fault clearance and long service life are essential.
