British Standard fuse-link IEC BS88 gG Type F1 550VAC 250VDC 6A BNS Offset Blade providing reliable full-range protection in industrial and commercial electrical circuits.
£4.06
The Mersen BNS55V6 is a compact BS88 gG offset tag fuse link designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection for low-voltage electrical installations. Manufactured by Mersen, it delivers reliable current limitation for industrial control systems, commercial distribution equipment and general electrical applications.
As a general-purpose gG fuse link, the BNS55V6 provides full-range protection for cables, conductors and connected electrical equipment. Its offset tag configuration enables secure installation within compatible BS88 fuse holders, fuse-switch disconnectors and electrical control-panel assemblies.
With a rated current of 6 A and voltage ratings of up to 550 V AC and 250 V DC, the BNS55V6 is suitable for auxiliary circuits, control equipment and low-current distribution applications requiring reliable fault protection.
Fuse links such as the Mersen BNS55V6 protect electrical installations by interrupting excessive current before it can cause serious damage to wiring, control components or distribution equipment. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the internal fuse element opens the circuit and limits the electrical energy transferred to connected components.
The BNS55V6 is particularly suitable for low-current control, signalling and auxiliary circuits. Its compact BS88 construction, general-purpose gG characteristic and dependable operation make it a practical choice for panel builders, electrical contractors and industrial maintenance engineers.
