Why Choose the Mersen BES42V63 BS88 gG End-Contact Fuse Link?
The Mersen BES42V63 is a dependable BS88 gG end-contact fuse link designed to protect low-voltage industrial and commercial 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 BES42V63 features an end-contact configuration for secure installation in compatible fuse carriers, fuse holders and fused switching equipment. Its full-range gG operating characteristic makes it suitable for general-purpose circuit protection across distribution boards, control panels, machinery and other demanding electrical installations.
With a rated current of 63 A and an operating voltage of up to 415 V AC, the BES42V63 offers reliable protection for industrial power distribution systems. Its current-limiting performance helps reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses placed on downstream components during electrical fault conditions.

Reliable Protection for Low-Voltage Electrical Systems
The Mersen BES42V63 is designed to interrupt excessive current before it can cause serious damage to electrical conductors, switchgear or connected equipment. Its gG characteristic provides protection across the full fault-current range, covering both sustained overload conditions and high-level short circuits.
During a serious fault, the fuse limits the peak current and total energy passing through the circuit. This helps reduce thermal and mechanical stress on downstream equipment, improve installation safety and minimise the risk of costly system damage or unplanned downtime.
Typical Applications
- Industrial power distribution systems.
- Electrical switchboards and distribution panels.
- Control panels and automation equipment.
- Cable and conductor protection.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
