Overview

The Mersen GTL20 (SKU: GTL20) is a Type P plug fuse designed for overcurrent protection in non-motor circuits. Rated at 125V AC and 20A, this non-time-delay fuse is engineered for receptacle and lighting circuits in industrial and residential applications. It features a low melting-point temperature element for rapid response to overcurrent conditions, reducing equipment damage and downtime. Key specifications include a 10kA interrupting rating (AC), ensuring robust protection against short circuits and overloads. The Type P designation meets Canadian requirements for non-motor loads, providing rejection features to prevent incorrect fuse installations in standard fuse holders. Compatible with Edison base fuse blocks, the GTL20 installs directly for hassle-free integration. Applications include lighting circuits in commercial and residential buildings, receptacle power distribution, control panels, and industrial machinery with non-motor loads. The fuse’s low-temperature element design minimizes thermal stress on connected equipment, extending service life. Mersen’s GTL series fuses are trusted for their reliability in demanding electrical protection scenarios. The GTL20 is a direct replacement for standard plug fuses, offering a balance of performance and ease of use in critical protection applications.
