Why Choose the Mersen F081793 Medium-Voltage Fuse Link?
The Mersen F081793, manufacturer designation FR36GD32C16P, is a high-performance medium-voltage current-limiting fuse link designed to protect transformers, switchgear and industrial power distribution equipment against damaging short-circuit currents. Rated at 16 A and 3.2 kV AC, it provides rapid fault interruption for demanding medium-voltage protection applications.
Also identified by the product description 329P CP GLD 36.190 16, the F081793 uses proven Mersen fuse technology to limit prospective fault current and reduce the energy passed to connected equipment. This helps minimise the thermal and mechanical stresses placed on transformers, conductors, switchgear and associated electrical components.
The Mersen F081793 features a compact 36 × 190 mm cylindrical format and an integrated striker for use with compatible indication or switching mechanisms. Its robust construction makes it suitable for industrial, infrastructure and utility installations where reliable medium-voltage circuit protection is essential.
Key Advantages
- Reliable medium-voltage short-circuit protection.
- 16 A rated current for correctly coordinated electrical equipment.
- 3.2 kV AC rated voltage.
- Current-limiting operation reduces peak fault current and let-through energy.
- Integrated striker for compatible indication or switching mechanisms.
- Compact 36 × 190 mm cylindrical construction.
Key Features
- Mersen Limitor medium-voltage fuse technology.
- Manufacturer reference: F081793.
- Manufacturer designation: FR36GD32C16P.
- Product description: 329P CP GLD 36.190 16.
- 16 A nominal current rating.
- 3.2 kV AC voltage rating.
- High-speed current-limiting fault interruption.
- Integrated mechanical striker.
Reliable Protection for Medium-Voltage Equipment
Medium-voltage current-limiting fuse links interrupt excessive fault currents before they reach their prospective peak. This reduces the thermal energy and mechanical forces imposed on transformers, switchgear and connected equipment, helping prevent extensive damage and improve the reliability of the electrical distribution system.
The Mersen F081793 must be selected as part of a correctly engineered protection system. Suitability depends on the system voltage, normal load current, prospective short-circuit level, transformer characteristics and compatibility with the installed fuse holder or switchgear assembly.
Typical Applications
- Medium-voltage transformer protection.
- Industrial switchgear and controlgear.
- Electrical distribution systems.
- Switch-fuse combination units.
- Utility and infrastructure power networks.
- Industrial substations and plant equipment.
