Overview

Mersen Z218200 is a high-reliability cylindrical fuse-link (gG type) designed for low-voltage industrial applications. Rated at 500VAC and 16A, this fuse-link provides robust protection for cables, motors, and LV networks against overcurrents and short-circuit currents up to 120kA breaking capacity. The 14x51mm ferrule design ensures compatibility with standard IEC cylindrical fuse holders, while the integrated striker mechanism enables remote indication of fuse operation via auxiliary contacts. Constructed with a ceramic body and silver-plated contacts, the Z218200 delivers consistent performance with minimal power dissipation of 2.35W at rated current. Certified for industrial environments, this fuse-link is ideal for motor protection, distribution circuits, and machinery where reliable fault interruption is critical. Part of Mersen’s IEC/FR low-voltage fuse system, it meets stringent IEC standards for safety and durability. Available in multiple ampere ratings within the 14x51 size family.
