Why Choose the Mersen F092856 Medium-Voltage Fuse Indication Device?
The Mersen F092856, catalogue reference MC1-9NFLEXQS500, is a flexible indication accessory designed to detect and signal the operating status of compatible medium-voltage fuse-links. It belongs to the Mersen Medium Voltage Indication System range and is configured with two microswitches for integration into switchgear monitoring, signalling and interlocking circuits.
When a compatible medium-voltage fuse operates, its striker activates the indication mechanism. The F092856 converts this mechanical movement into electrical contact signals that can be used to operate an alarm, trigger an indication circuit or initiate the opening mechanism of associated switchgear.
The flexible Micro Flex MV design provides installation freedom where direct mechanical linkage is impractical. With an overall product length of approximately 710 mm, the device can be positioned to suit the layout of compatible medium-voltage fuse bases, controlgear and switchgear assemblies.

Reliable Medium-Voltage Fuse Status Monitoring
Medium-voltage fuse-links are commonly fitted with mechanical strikers that operate when the fuse responds to a fault. The Mersen F092856 enables this movement to be transferred to two microswitches, providing electrical signals that can be connected to local indicators, remote alarms, protection relays or switchgear operating mechanisms.
Using two microswitches allows separate circuits or functions to be controlled from the same fuse-operation event. For example, one contact may provide a local or remote alarm while the second initiates an interlock or switch-disconnection sequence. Final circuit design must follow the switchgear manufacturer's instructions and the electrical ratings of the connected control system.
Typical Applications
- Medium-voltage fuse-operation indication.
- Transformer protection switchgear.
- Medium-voltage motor controlgear.
- Air-insulated switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial electrical substations.
- Remote fuse-status alarm circuits.
- Switch-disconnector tripping systems.
- Control panel interlocking and monitoring circuits.
