Why Choose the Mersen E081838 Medium-Voltage Fuse Link?
The Mersen E081838 is a compact medium-voltage current-limiting fuse link designed to protect lighting circuits, voltage transformers and other specialist electrical equipment against damaging fault currents. Identified by the manufacturer designation 3200 CP gLB 10.180/0.16, this fuse has a rated current of 0.16 A and a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC.
As part of Mersen's European medium-voltage fuse range, the E081838 provides rapid interruption and effective current limitation when a qualifying short circuit occurs. Limiting the peak fault current and let-through energy helps reduce thermal and mechanical stress on connected equipment, conductors and switchgear.
The fuse features a compact 10 × 180 mm cylindrical format and is supplied without a trip indicator. The Mersen E081838 is now listed as a discontinued or end-of-life product, so availability may be limited. Please call 01706 242050 for stock information or assistance identifying a suitable replacement.

Reliable Protection for Specialist Medium-Voltage Circuits
Medium-voltage current-limiting fuses interrupt high fault currents before they reach their prospective peak. This helps minimise the let-through energy delivered to connected components and reduces the risk of severe thermal or mechanical damage within the electrical installation.
The Mersen E081838 must be selected and installed as part of a correctly engineered protection system. Suitability depends on the system voltage, normal operating current, prospective fault level, fuse-holder dimensions and the protection requirements of the connected equipment.
Typical Applications
- Medium-voltage lighting circuits.
- Voltage transformer protection.
- Auxiliary medium-voltage circuits.
- Industrial switchgear and controlgear.
- Specialist power distribution equipment.
- Maintenance of legacy electrical installations.
