£86.11
The Mersen S081620, also identified as 36GB55V5, is a dependable medium voltage cylindrical fuse designed to protect electrical equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. Manufactured by Mersen Ferraz Shawmut, this Limitor fuse provides effective current-limiting protection for specialised industrial and power distribution applications.
The S081620 is engineered to interrupt high fault currents rapidly, helping reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses placed on transformers, switchgear, conductors and connected equipment. Its robust cylindrical construction supports reliable performance in demanding electrical installations where protection and continuity are essential.
With a rated current of 5 A, a rated voltage of 5.5 kV AC and a 36 × 250 mm cylindrical body, the Mersen S081620 is suitable for low-current medium voltage circuits. This version is supplied without a striker and should be installed in a compatible medium voltage fuse holder selected for the circuit requirements.
Medium voltage current-limiting fuses interrupt excessive fault currents before they can cause extensive damage to electrical equipment. By restricting the peak current and energy passed through the circuit, they help protect transformers, switchgear, cables and associated components from the thermal and dynamic effects of a short circuit.
The Mersen S081620 combines a low current rating with a 5.5 kV voltage capability, making it suitable for specialised medium voltage circuits. Correct coordination with the system voltage, prospective fault current, connected equipment and compatible fuse holder is essential for safe and dependable protection.
