Mersen X081785 FR36GD32C100P cylindrical medium-voltage fuse-link rated at 3.2 kV AC and 100 A, with a 36 x 190 mm gLD construction and integrated striker for electrical distribution protection.
£188.92
The Mersen X081785, also designated FR36GD32C100P and 36GD32V100P, is a cylindrical medium-voltage fuse-link designed to protect electrical distribution equipment against damaging overcurrents and short-circuit faults. Its current-limiting performance helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses placed on conductors, switchgear and connected equipment during severe fault conditions.
Manufactured by Mersen, formerly known as Ferraz Shawmut, the X081785 combines a robust insulating body with metallic end contacts for reliable operation in demanding industrial and infrastructure environments. The fuse incorporates a striker mechanism that can provide visual indication or operate compatible switchgear tripping and interlocking systems.
With a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC, a rated current of 100 A and a nominal 36 × 190 mm cylindrical format, the Mersen X081785 is suitable for appropriately coordinated medium-voltage lighting, transformer and distribution circuits. Its gLD operating characteristic provides dependable protection across a broad range of fault-current conditions.
Medium-voltage fuse-links interrupt excessive current before it can cause extensive damage to cables, switchgear, transformers and connected equipment. During a short circuit, the fuse element melts and the resulting electrical arc is rapidly controlled and extinguished within the fuse body.
The Mersen X081785 limits both the magnitude and duration of the fault current, helping reduce peak energy and improve the protection of the wider electrical installation. Its striker can also activate compatible switchgear mechanisms, supporting clear fault indication and coordinated circuit isolation.
