Why Choose the Mersen BTF42V200 BS88 gG Fuse Link?

The Mersen BTF42V200 is a robust British Standard BS88 gG fuse link designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection for industrial and commercial electrical distribution systems. Manufactured by Mersen, it offers effective current limitation to help protect cables, switchgear and connected equipment from damaging fault currents.

Its gG full-range operating characteristic enables the fuse link to protect against both sustained overloads and high-level short circuits. The durable ceramic body and bolted-tag terminal arrangement provide secure mechanical and electrical connections within compatible fuse holders, fuse switches and distribution assemblies.

With a rated current of 200 A and a rated operating voltage of 415 V AC, the Mersen BTF42V200 is suitable for switchboards, industrial control panels, machinery and power distribution applications requiring reliable high-current circuit protection.

Key Advantages

  • Dependable BS88 gG full-range circuit protection.
  • 200 A rated current for high-current electrical installations.
  • 415 V AC voltage rating for industrial power systems.
  • Protects against both overload and short-circuit currents.
  • Current-limiting operation helps reduce thermal and mechanical fault stress.
  • Bolted-tag construction provides secure installation in compatible equipment.

Key Features

  • Mersen industrial BS88 fuse-link range.
  • 200 A nominal current rating.
  • 415 V AC rated operating voltage.
  • gG utilisation category for full-range protection.
  • Designed to protect cables, conductors and electrical equipment.
  • Durable ceramic fuse body.
  • Bolted-tag terminal configuration.
  • Suitable for compatible fuse holders, fuse switches and switchgear.

Reliable Protection for High-Current Electrical Systems

The Mersen BTF42V200 operates by interrupting excessive electrical current before it can cause serious damage to cables, conductors, switchgear or connected equipment. Its current-limiting performance reduces the amount of fault energy passing through the installation during a short circuit.

The gG operating characteristic provides protection across the complete current range, making the fuse suitable for panel builders, electrical contractors and maintenance engineers working with industrial switchboards, machinery and commercial power distribution systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical switchboards.
  • Commercial power distribution panels.
  • Low-voltage switchgear.
  • Fuse switches and switch disconnectors.
  • Industrial machinery and control systems.
  • Cable, conductor and equipment protection.
