Why Choose the Mersen A205091 High-Voltage Fuse Link?
The Mersen A205091, also identified as 36GD360V0,5, is a specialised high-voltage cylindrical fuse link designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection in demanding electrical distribution systems. With a rated current of 0.5 A and a rated voltage of 36 kV AC, it is suited to circuits requiring reliable protection at high operating voltages and relatively low current levels.
Featuring a substantial 36 × 400 mm cylindrical format, the A205091 is intended for installation in a compatible high-voltage fuse holder or protection assembly. Its engineered fuse element responds when current rises beyond an acceptable level, helping isolate the affected circuit and reduce damage to transformers, voltage transformers, switchgear and connected equipment.
The product description 36000 CP GLD 36.400/0,5 identifies its 36,000 V voltage class, GLD operating characteristic, physical format and 0.5 A current rating. Manufactured by Mersen, formerly associated with the Ferraz Shawmut brand, this fuse supports dependable protection in specialist industrial, utility and infrastructure applications.

Reliable Protection for High-Voltage Electrical Systems
High-voltage electrical equipment requires correctly coordinated protection to prevent abnormal current from causing serious thermal, mechanical or insulation damage. The Mersen A205091 is designed to interrupt unacceptable overcurrents and isolate the protected circuit when a fault occurs.
Its combination of a 36 kV AC voltage rating and low 0.5 A current rating makes it appropriate for specialist protection duties rather than general low-voltage distribution. The fuse should always be matched to the equipment manufacturer's requirements, including rated voltage, current, breaking capacity, fuse characteristic and physical dimensions.
Typical Applications
- High-voltage switchgear.
- Voltage transformer protection.
- Electrical substations.
- Utility power distribution systems.
- Industrial high-voltage equipment.
- Measurement and control transformers.
- Infrastructure electrical systems.
- Maintenance of Mersen and Ferraz Shawmut fuse assemblies.
