Why Choose the Mersen P092496 MC36GR2-5 Microswitch?
The Mersen P092496 is a dedicated fuse-operation microswitch accessory designed for compatible Mersen high-speed semiconductor fuse-links. Also identified as MC36GR2-5 or MC 36 GR 2-5, it enables the status of an associated fuse to be incorporated into an electrical monitoring, alarm or control circuit.
Developed for compatible BS88-4 fuse-links with separated or built-in trip indicators, the P092496 responds when the fuse indicator operates. This provides a practical method of generating a remote signal following fuse operation, helping maintenance teams identify faults quickly and reduce equipment downtime.
The Mersen P092496 is intended for use with compatible size 36 gR fuse arrangements in sizes 2 to 5. Its purpose-designed construction supports reliable mechanical interaction with the fuse indicator and straightforward integration into industrial drives, converters, rectifiers and other semiconductor protection assemblies.
Key Advantages
- Provides remote fuse-operation signalling for compatible Mersen fuse-links.
- Supports faster fault identification and maintenance response.
- Suitable for monitoring circuits, alarm systems and control equipment.
- Designed for compatible BS88-4 trip-indicator systems.
- Works with separated and built-in fuse trip indicators.
- Purpose-designed Mersen accessory ensures dependable mechanical compatibility.
Key Features
- Mersen fuse indicator microswitch accessory.
- Manufacturer part number P092496.
- Alternative product reference MC36GR2-5.
- Product designation MC 36 GR 2-5.
- Designed for compatible size 36 gR fuse systems.
- Suitable for fuse sizes 2 to 5 within the specified range.
- Compatible with separated and built-in BS88-4 trip indicators.
- Suitable for indoor industrial electrical equipment.
Reliable Remote Fuse Monitoring
When a compatible fuse operates, its trip indicator actuates the Mersen P092496 microswitch. The resulting change of contact state can be used by a suitable external circuit to activate an alarm, illuminate an indicator, transmit a fault signal or initiate a controlled equipment response.
Remote indication is particularly valuable in enclosed control panels and multi-fuse installations, where visually inspecting every fuse would be time-consuming. By incorporating the microswitch into the control system, maintenance personnel can locate an operated fuse more efficiently and restore the equipment to service sooner.
Typical Applications
- Variable frequency drive panels.
- Industrial rectifiers and power converters.
- Inverters and semiconductor power assemblies.
- Uninterruptible power supply systems.
- Battery chargers and DC power equipment.
- Industrial control panels and alarm circuits.
- Machinery requiring remote fuse-status monitoring.
Purpose-Designed for Compatible Mersen Fuse Systems
The P092496 is engineered to operate with the trip-indicator mechanism of the specified Mersen fuse range. Selecting a purpose-designed accessory helps ensure correct alignment, dependable actuation and consistent signalling after fuse operation.
Before installation, confirm that the fuse-link has a compatible separated or built-in trip indicator and that its body size and series correspond with the MC36GR2-5 accessory. The microswitch contacts must also be connected within the ratings and requirements of the associated monitoring or control circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mersen P092496 used for?
The Mersen P092496 is a microswitch accessory used to provide remote indication when a compatible Mersen fuse-link operates.
Is the Mersen P092496 a fuse?
No. The P092496 is not a fuse-link. It is an accessory that works with the trip indicator of a compatible fuse to signal that the fuse has operated.
What is the alternative reference for the Mersen P092496?
The alternative product reference is MC36GR2-5, and the product is also described as MC 36 GR 2-5.
Which fuse indicators are compatible with the P092496?
The microswitch is designed for compatible BS88-4 fuse systems featuring either a separated trip indicator or a built-in trip indicator.
What happens when the associated fuse operates?
The fuse trip indicator mechanically actuates the microswitch. Its contact output can then be used by a suitable circuit to activate an alarm, indicator or control-system input.
Can the P092496 be used with any fuse?
No. Compatibility depends on the fuse series, body size and indicator arrangement. The fuse documentation should be checked to confirm compatibility with the MC36GR2-5 microswitch before installation.
Dependable Fuse-Status Signalling
Mersen fuse accessories provide practical monitoring solutions for industrial power electronic equipment, helping operators identify fuse operation quickly and minimise avoidable downtime.
