£133.75
The Mersen BTTM42V560 is a heavy-duty industrial fuse link designed to protect high-current low-voltage electrical systems against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, it provides dependable fault interruption for cables, conductors, switchgear and connected equipment in demanding power distribution applications.
The BTTM42V560 uses a robust tagged mounting arrangement to provide a secure mechanical and electrical connection within compatible fuse holders, fused switches and switch-disconnectors. Its current-limiting performance helps restrict the peak current and total fault energy passing through the circuit during a serious electrical fault.
With a rated current of 560 A and an operating voltage of up to 415 V AC, the BTTM42V560 is suitable for high-capacity switchboards, industrial distribution panels, machinery supplies and other installations requiring reliable high-current circuit protection.
The Mersen BTTM42V560 is designed to interrupt excessive current before it can cause serious thermal or mechanical damage to an electrical installation. During a fault, the fuse element operates rapidly to disconnect the affected circuit and limit the amount of energy transferred to downstream components.
Effective current limitation can help protect busbars, cables, switchgear and connected machinery while reducing the risk of extended downtime. Correct coordination with the associated fuse holder, switching device and downstream equipment is essential for safe and reliable operation.
