Why Choose the Mersen BNS55V20M32 BS88 Fuse Link?

The Mersen BNS55V20M32 is a dependable British Standard industrial fuse link designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against damaging overload and short-circuit currents. Manufactured by Mersen, a recognised specialist in electrical protection, it provides reliable circuit protection for industrial control panels, switchgear and power distribution equipment.

Its robust ceramic construction and bolted-tag terminal arrangement provide secure mechanical and electrical connections within compatible fuse holders and switching devices. Effective current-limiting performance helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stress placed on cables, conductors and connected equipment during electrical fault conditions.

With a rated current of 32 A and a rated operating voltage of up to 550 V AC, the Mersen BNS55V20M32 is suitable for industrial machinery, control equipment and electrical distribution systems requiring dependable fault interruption in a compact BS88 fuse-link format.
