Why Choose the Mersen C081813 High Voltage Fuse?
The Mersen C081813, also identified as 36GD32V40, is a dependable Limitor high voltage fuse-link designed to protect medium-voltage electrical equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. Rated at 36 kV and 40 A, it is suitable for protecting transformers, switchgear and industrial power distribution installations.
This high voltage fuse provides rapid current-limiting operation during serious electrical faults. By restricting the peak current and the amount of energy passed into protected equipment, the C081813 helps reduce thermal stress, mechanical damage and the risk of extended system downtime.
Manufactured as part of Mersen's established Limitor fuse range, the C081813 features a robust cylindrical body with an approximate 36 × 190 mm format. It provides a reliable replacement solution for compatible medium-voltage fuse carriers and switch-fuse assemblies used throughout industrial, utility and infrastructure applications.

Reliable Protection for Medium-Voltage Equipment
High voltage fuse-links protect electrical equipment by rapidly interrupting dangerous short-circuit currents. The Mersen C081813 limits the peak fault current and reduces the energy transferred into downstream components, helping protect transformers, cables and switchgear against severe thermal and dynamic stresses.
The fuse should be selected according to the system voltage, transformer characteristics, operating current, prospective fault level and required protection coordination. Compatibility with the existing fuse carrier and associated switchgear must also be confirmed before installation.
Typical Applications
- Medium-voltage distribution transformers.
- High voltage switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial substations.
- Utility power distribution networks.
- Switch-fuse combination units.
- Infrastructure and renewable energy installations.
