Why Choose the Mersen BNS55V32 BS88 Offset Tag Fuse?
The Mersen BNS55V32 is a compact BS88 gG offset tag fuse-link designed to protect industrial and commercial low-voltage circuits against overloads and short circuits. Its full-range gG operating characteristic makes it suitable for safeguarding cables, conductors, distribution equipment and general electrical loads.
As part of the established Mersen BNS fuse-link range, the BNS55V32 provides effective current limitation during fault conditions. By restricting peak fault current and let-through energy, it helps reduce thermal and mechanical stress on switchgear, cables and connected equipment.
Rated at 32 A and suitable for systems operating at up to 550 V AC, the BNS55V32 is an ideal choice for industrial control panels, distribution boards, machinery and OEM electrical assemblies. Its offset tag construction provides a secure connection in compatible BS88 fuse holders and switch-fuse equipment.

Reliable Full-Range Circuit Protection
The Mersen BNS55V32 uses a gG operating characteristic to provide full-range protection against sustained overload currents and high short-circuit currents. This makes the fuse-link suitable for protecting cables, conductors, distribution circuits and general-purpose electrical equipment.
During a severe fault, the fuse-link rapidly interrupts the circuit and limits the amount of energy allowed to pass downstream. This helps protect switchgear and connected equipment while reducing the risk of extensive damage, unplanned downtime and costly repairs.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Electrical distribution boards.
- Machine power circuits.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Switch-fuse assemblies.
- OEM machinery and electrical equipment.
