Why Choose the Mersen BTIA69V32M40 BS88 gG Fuse Link?
The Mersen BTIA69V32M40 is a compact and dependable British Standard BS88 gG fuse link designed to protect industrial electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit currents. Manufactured by Mersen, it provides effective current limitation to help safeguard cables, conductors, switchgear and connected equipment in demanding low-voltage installations.
Its gG full-range operating characteristic enables the BTIA69V32M40 to interrupt both sustained overload currents and high-level short circuits. The robust ceramic body and offset bolted-tag terminal arrangement provide secure mechanical and electrical connections within compatible fuse holders, fuse switches and distribution assemblies.
With a rated current of 40 A and a rated operating voltage of 690 V AC, the Mersen BTIA69V32M40 is suitable for industrial control panels, switchboards, machinery and power distribution systems requiring reliable circuit protection at elevated operating voltages.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
The Mersen BTIA69V32M40 operates by interrupting excessive electrical current before it can cause serious damage to cables, switchgear or connected equipment. During an overload or short circuit, the internal fuse element disconnects the affected circuit and limits the amount of damaging fault energy allowed to pass.
Its gG operating characteristic provides protection across the complete current range, making the fuse suitable for panel builders, electrical contractors and maintenance engineers working with industrial machinery, control equipment and electrical power distribution systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Electrical distribution boards.
- Low-voltage switchgear.
- Fuse switches and switch disconnectors.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Cable, conductor and equipment protection.
