Why Choose the Mersen BNIT55V16 British Standard Fuse-Link?
The Mersen BNIT55V16 is a dependable British Standard gG fuse-link designed to provide full-range overcurrent protection for industrial and commercial electrical circuits. With a rated current of 16 A, it protects cables, switchgear and connected equipment against sustained overloads and damaging short-circuit currents.
As part of the established Mersen BNIT offset tag fuse-link range, the BNIT55V16 combines effective current limitation with reliable fault interruption. Its compact and robust construction makes it suitable for use in distribution boards, industrial control panels, fused switches and other electrical protection assemblies.
Rated for operation at up to 550 V AC and 250 V DC, the BNIT55V16 is suitable for a wide range of power distribution and equipment protection applications. Its British Standard offset tag format enables secure installation in compatible fuse holders and switch-disconnector systems.

Reliable Protection for Electrical Distribution Systems
The Mersen BNIT55V16 safely interrupts excessive current before it can cause serious damage to conductors, switchgear or connected equipment. Its current-limiting action reduces the peak current and let-through energy produced during a short circuit, helping minimise thermal and mechanical stress throughout the electrical system.
The fuse-link’s gG operating characteristic provides protection across the full current range. This allows the BNIT55V16 to respond to sustained overload conditions as well as high short-circuit currents, making it suitable for general-purpose circuit and cable protection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Control panels and automation equipment.
- Switchgear and fused switch disconnectors.
- Cable and feeder circuit protection.
- OEM machinery and production equipment.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
