Why Choose the Mersen B205092 High Voltage Fuse Link?
The Mersen B205092, also identified as 36GD360V1, is a specialised high voltage cylindrical fuse link designed to protect voltage transformers, switchgear and other low-current equipment in medium and high voltage electrical systems. With a rated current of 1 A and a rated voltage of 36 kV AC, it is suitable for applications requiring dependable fault protection at elevated system voltages.
Featuring a substantial 36 × 400 mm cylindrical format, the B205092 is designed for installation in a compatible high voltage fuse holder or protection assembly. Its engineered fuse element interrupts excessive current when an electrical fault occurs, helping reduce thermal and mechanical stress on transformers, conductors, switchgear and connected equipment.
The manufacturer description 36000 CP GLD 36.400/1 identifies its 36,000 V voltage class, GLD operating characteristic, physical dimensions and 1 A current rating. Manufactured by Mersen, formerly associated with the Ferraz Shawmut brand, this fuse provides dependable protection for specialised industrial, infrastructure and utility applications.

Reliable Protection for High Voltage Electrical Equipment
High voltage electrical systems require correctly coordinated protection to prevent abnormal currents from causing serious insulation, thermal or mechanical damage. The Mersen B205092 is designed to interrupt unacceptable fault current and isolate the affected circuit before the fault causes more extensive equipment failure.
Its combination of a 36 kV AC voltage rating and low 1 A current rating makes it appropriate for specialised protection duties rather than general low voltage distribution. The fuse should always be matched to the equipment manufacturer's specified voltage, current, operating characteristic, breaking capacity and physical dimensions.
Typical Applications
- Voltage transformer protection.
- High voltage electrical switchgear.
- Electrical substations.
- Utility power distribution systems.
- Measurement and protection circuits.
- Industrial high voltage equipment.
- Infrastructure electrical installations.
- Maintenance of Mersen and Ferraz Shawmut fuse assemblies.
