£83.79
The Mersen Z081810 is a dependable high-voltage current-limiting fuse developed for the protection of public lighting networks, distribution transformers and associated medium-voltage electrical equipment. Identified by the catalogue number 36GD32V20, this fuse combines a 20 A rated current with a compact cylindrical construction suitable for specialised high-voltage installations.
As part of Mersen's established range of electrical protection products, the Z081810 is designed to interrupt damaging short-circuit currents rapidly. Its current-limiting action helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses imposed on transformers, conductors, switchgear and other connected equipment during a fault.
With a rated voltage of 3.2 kV, a breaking capacity of 50 kA and dimensions of approximately 36 × 190 mm, the Mersen Z081810 provides a robust protection solution for medium-voltage public lighting circuits and transformer-fed distribution systems.
The Mersen Z081810 limits the peak current that can pass through a circuit during a short circuit. By interrupting the fault before it reaches its maximum prospective value, the fuse helps protect transformers, switchgear, cables and other components against excessive heat and electromechanical forces.
Its cylindrical high-voltage construction is designed for installation in a compatible 36 × 190 mm fuse holder. Correct coordination with the protected equipment and the associated switching device is essential to ensure safe and effective operation.
