Overview

The Mersen M1019256 BS88 gG Type A2 fuse-link is a high-integrity protection device designed for general-purpose applications in industrial and electrical systems. Rated at 20A with a voltage rating of 690VAC and 460VDC, this fuse-link ensures reliable overload and short-circuit protection across a broad spectrum of electrical installations. Its Type A2 size and BTIA offset tag connection type enable secure mounting via screwing into fuseholders or bolting directly onto busbars, including compatibility with fuse interruptors and disconnectors. Compliance with EN 60269-2 section II and BS 88 part 2 guarantees adherence to stringent international standards, while the gG classification ensures excellent current limitation for overload conditions. The design prevents replacement with higher-rated fuses within its range, maintaining system integrity and safety. Ideal for general-purpose protection in industrial control panels, motor circuits, and distribution systems where dependable fault interruption is critical.
