Why Choose the Mersen BES55V36 Offset Blade Fuse Link?
The Mersen BES55V36 is a dependable industrial offset blade fuse link designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, it provides effective current limitation and reliable fault interruption for cables, conductors, switchgear and connected electrical equipment.
The BES55V36 uses an offset blade configuration that supports secure installation in compatible fuse holders, fused switches and switch-disconnectors. Its robust construction makes it suitable for industrial control panels, distribution boards and machinery where reliable electrical protection is required.
With a rated current of 36 A and an operating voltage of up to 550 V AC, the BES55V36 is suitable for a wide range of industrial power distribution applications. Its current-limiting performance helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stress placed on downstream equipment during electrical fault conditions.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
The Mersen BES55V36 is designed to interrupt excessive current before it can cause serious damage to electrical conductors, switchgear or connected equipment. During a fault, its current-limiting action restricts the magnitude and duration of the current passing through the circuit.
By reducing the thermal and mechanical effects associated with high fault currents, the fuse helps improve installation safety and minimise equipment damage. Correct fuse selection and coordination with associated switchgear can also help reduce downtime and improve the long-term reliability of an electrical system.
Typical Applications
- Industrial power distribution systems.
- Electrical switchboards and control panels.
- Cable and conductor protection.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Fuse switches and switch-disconnectors.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
