Why Choose the Mersen S081804 Medium Voltage Cylindrical Fuse?
The Mersen S081804, also identified as 36GD32V5, is a dependable medium voltage current-limiting fuse designed to protect electrical equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. Manufactured by Mersen Ferraz Shawmut, this Limitor fuse is engineered for reliable operation in specialised industrial and power distribution systems.
The S081804 rapidly interrupts excessive fault currents, helping reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses placed on transformers, switchgear, cables and connected electrical equipment. Its current-limiting characteristics help minimise the peak current and fault energy allowed to pass through the protected circuit.
With a rated current of 5 A, a rated voltage of 3.2 kV AC and a compact 36 × 190 mm cylindrical body, the Mersen S081804 is suitable for low-current medium voltage applications. This version is supplied without a striker and should be installed in a compatible fuse holder selected for the electrical and mechanical requirements of the system.
