£89.25
The Mersen N081616, manufacturer reference 36GB55V12, is a dependable 12 A medium voltage cylindrical fuse-link designed to protect public lighting networks, transformers and specialist power distribution equipment. Its current-limiting performance helps interrupt damaging fault currents rapidly, reducing the electrical, thermal and mechanical stress placed on connected components.
Manufactured as part of Mersen's established medium voltage fuse range, the N081616 features a robust 36 × 250 mm cylindrical body for installation in a compatible fuse holder or mounting assembly. Its compact construction supports straightforward integration within suitable switchgear, lighting distribution systems and electrical protection equipment.
With a rated voltage of 5.5 kV AC and a rated current of 12 A, the Mersen N081616 provides reliable protection for medium voltage circuits where controlled fault clearance and service continuity are important. Its gLB operating class makes it particularly suited to public lighting and associated distribution applications.
Medium voltage fuse-links are designed to interrupt short-circuit currents before they reach their full prospective peak. By limiting the current and energy allowed to pass during a fault, the Mersen N081616 helps protect cables, switchgear, transformers and other connected electrical equipment.
When correctly selected and coordinated with the protected circuit, the N081616 provides efficient fault protection while helping minimise equipment damage and disruption. Its cylindrical design and proven Mersen engineering make it a reliable choice for public lighting, infrastructure and specialist medium voltage distribution systems.
