Why Choose the Mersen V081484 Medium Voltage Cylindrical Fuse?
The Mersen V081484, also identified as 36GD55V20P, is a medium voltage cylindrical fuse-link designed to provide dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for specialist electrical distribution systems. With a 20 A rated current and a 5.5 kV AC rated voltage, it is suitable for installations requiring reliable current-limiting protection at medium voltage.
This Mersen fuse is identified by the manufacturer designation 559P CP GLD 55.259 20 and may also be referenced as 55GD55V20P. Its robust cylindrical construction supports reliable operation in industrial, infrastructure and utility applications where electrical faults must be interrupted quickly to reduce damage to connected equipment.
The V081484 features a cylindrical body measuring approximately 55 × 259 mm and incorporates a striker mechanism. The striker can provide mechanical indication when the fuse has operated and may actuate compatible switchgear or signalling equipment. This makes the fuse suitable for transformer protection, public lighting networks, medium voltage panels and demanding industrial installations, including chemical and salt-processing environments.
