Why Choose the Mersen FR10GG40V16P Cylindrical Fuse with Striker?
The Mersen FR10GG40V16P is a high-performance 10 × 38 mm gG cylindrical fuse-link with striker, designed to protect low-voltage electrical distribution circuits, cables, motors and industrial equipment against overload and short-circuit currents. As part of the established Mersen FR10 gG series, it combines dependable full-range circuit protection with a mechanical striker for fuse status indication or auxiliary switching.
Its gG full-range utilisation category enables the fuse to interrupt both sustained overload currents and high short-circuit currents. The ceramic body and silver-plated contacts provide reliable electrical conductivity, thermal resistance and consistent performance in demanding industrial installations.
With a rated current of 16 A, an IEC rated voltage of 380 V AC and a compact 10 × 38 mm format, the FR10GG40V16P is suitable for distribution boards, industrial control panels, switchgear and machinery. The integrated striker can operate a compatible auxiliary contact or provide mechanical indication when the fuse has operated.

Reliable Circuit Protection with Striker Indication
The Mersen FR10GG40V16P protects cables, motors, low-voltage networks and electrical equipment by limiting unacceptable overcurrents and rapidly interrupting short-circuit currents. Its gG characteristic provides protection across the complete operating range, helping to reduce damage, downtime and safety risks.
When the fuse operates, its integrated striker extends mechanically. In a compatible fuse holder, this movement can activate an auxiliary contact for remote fault signalling, control-system feedback or equipment shutdown, helping maintenance teams identify and respond to a blown fuse efficiently.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution circuits.
- Control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- Cable and conductor protection.
- Motor and machinery circuits.
- Fuse monitoring and remote fault indication systems.
- OEM automation and production equipment.
