Why Choose the Mersen W089627 Cylindrical Fuse-Link?
The Mersen W089627, also designated FR10AB32C12, is a compact medium-voltage cylindrical fuse-link designed to protect electrical distribution equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. Manufactured by Mersen, formerly known as Ferraz Shawmut, it provides dependable current-limiting protection for specialised power distribution and control applications.
This fuse-link features a robust cylindrical construction engineered for reliable operation in compatible medium-voltage fuse holders. Its fast fault-clearing characteristics help limit the thermal and mechanical energy transferred to conductors, switchgear and connected equipment during an electrical fault.
With a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC, a rated current of 12 A and compact 10 × 180 mm dimensions, the Mersen W089627 is suitable for installations requiring a slim medium-voltage fuse format. The integrated striker supports operation with compatible indicating or tripping mechanisms.

Reliable Medium-Voltage Circuit Protection
Current-limiting fuse-links protect electrical systems by interrupting excessive current before it can cause serious thermal or mechanical damage. When a short circuit occurs, the internal fuse element melts and establishes an arc that is rapidly extinguished within the fuse body.
The Mersen W089627 is designed for applications where space is limited but dependable medium-voltage fault protection is required. Its slim cylindrical body makes it suitable for specialised fusegear, while the striker can provide mechanical indication or initiate operation of compatible switchgear.
Typical Applications
- Medium-voltage electrical distribution circuits.
- Auxiliary power and control systems.
- Specialised transformer protection.
- Street-lighting distribution equipment.
- Industrial switchgear and fusegear.
- Infrastructure and utility electrical installations.
