Why Choose the Mersen BTIS42V36 BS88 gG Fuse Link?
The Mersen BTIS42V36 is a dependable BS88 gG industrial fuse link designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, it helps safeguard cables, conductors, switchgear and connected electrical equipment by safely interrupting excessive current during fault conditions.
As part of Mersen’s industrial bolted-tag fuse-link range, the BTIS42V36 combines reliable fault interruption with effective current-limiting performance. Its full-range gG operating characteristic provides protection against both sustained overload currents and high-level short circuits, making it suitable for general-purpose industrial power distribution applications.
With a rated current of 36 A and an operating voltage of up to 415 V AC, the BTIS42V36 is suitable for switchboards, distribution panels, machinery and electrical control systems. Its bolted-tag configuration provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection within compatible fuse holders, fuse switches and switch-disconnectors.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
The Mersen BTIS42V36 is designed to disconnect an electrical circuit when current rises beyond safe operating limits. Its gG characteristic provides full-range protection, covering prolonged overload conditions and high-level short circuits that could otherwise damage conductors, switchgear and connected equipment.
During a serious fault, the fuse limits the peak current and total electrical energy passing through the circuit. Correct coordination with the associated fuse holder, switching device and downstream equipment can help reduce thermal and mechanical stress, improve installation safety and minimise unplanned downtime.
Typical Applications
- Industrial power distribution systems.
- Electrical switchboards and distribution panels.
- Control panels and automation equipment.
- Cable, conductor and feeder circuit protection.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Fuse switches and switch-disconnectors.
