Why Choose the Mersen BTCP42V36 Industrial Fuse Link?
The Mersen BTCP42V36 is a dependable British Standard industrial fuse link designed to protect electrical distribution circuits, machinery and control equipment against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, it provides reliable current-limiting protection for compatible cables, conductors, switchgear and connected electrical equipment.
During an electrical fault, the BTCP42V36 rapidly interrupts excessive current to help reduce the thermal and mechanical energy passed through to downstream components. This current-limiting performance can minimise equipment damage, improve installation safety and support reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
With a rated current of 36 A and a rated voltage of 415 V AC / 240 V DC, the BTCP42V36 is suitable for compatible industrial power, control and distribution circuits. Its bolted-tag construction provides a secure electrical connection when installed in a correctly rated fuse holder, switch-fuse unit or distribution assembly.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
Industrial fuse links protect electrical installations by interrupting excessive current before it can cause serious overheating, insulation damage or equipment failure. During an overload or short-circuit condition, the internal fuse element operates to isolate the affected circuit and limit the energy reaching downstream equipment.
The Mersen BTCP42V36 should be installed in a correctly rated and mechanically compatible fuse holder. Fuse selection should consider the operating voltage, continuous load current, prospective short-circuit current, conductor capacity and coordination with other protective devices within the installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution panels.
- Machinery and production equipment.
- Automation and control panels.
- Switch-fuse and fuse-switch assemblies.
- Power supply and auxiliary circuits.
- Cable, conductor and switchgear protection.
