Why Choose the Mersen BTIS42V160 Industrial Fuse Link?
The Mersen BTIS42V160 is a robust industrial fuse link designed to provide reliable protection for low-voltage power distribution systems against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, it helps protect cables, conductors, switchgear and connected electrical equipment by safely interrupting excessive current during fault conditions.
The BTIS42V160 combines dependable fault interruption with effective current-limiting performance. By restricting the peak current and total energy passing through the circuit during a serious electrical fault, the fuse can help reduce thermal and mechanical stress on downstream components while supporting improved installation safety and reliability.
With a rated current of 160 A and an operating voltage of up to 415 V AC, the BTIS42V160 is suitable for industrial switchboards, distribution panels, machinery supplies and feeder circuits. Its bolted tag construction provides a secure electrical and mechanical connection within compatible fuse holders and fused switching equipment.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
The Mersen BTIS42V160 is designed to disconnect an electrical circuit when current rises beyond safe operating limits. Its gG operating characteristic provides full-range protection, covering sustained overload conditions as well as high-level short circuits that could otherwise damage conductors, switchgear and connected equipment.
During a serious fault, the fuse limits the peak current and electrical energy transferred through the circuit. Correct coordination with the associated fuse holder, switching device and downstream equipment can help minimise equipment damage, improve system safety and reduce unplanned downtime.
Typical Applications
- Industrial power distribution systems.
- Electrical switchboards and distribution panels.
- Cable, conductor and feeder circuit protection.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Fuse switches and switch-disconnectors.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
