Why Choose the Mersen A081397 36GB55V3.15 Medium-Voltage Fuse?
The Mersen A081397, also identified as 36GB55V3.15, is a high-quality medium-voltage cylindrical fuse link designed to protect compatible electrical circuits and equipment against damaging overcurrents and short-circuit faults. Manufactured by Mersen under the established Ferraz Shawmut range, it combines a rated current of 3.15 A with a rated voltage of 5.5 kV AC.
Its cylindrical 36 × 250 mm construction is designed for installation in a suitably rated fuse holder or specialist electrical assembly. During a fault, the fuse operates to interrupt excessive current, helping reduce thermal and mechanical stress on cables, components and connected equipment.
The Mersen A081397 provides a compact and dependable circuit protection solution for professional electrical applications. Its high voltage capability, current-limiting performance and robust construction make it suitable for industrial power systems, switchgear, control equipment and maintenance replacement applications.
