Why Choose the Mersen BB001FS NH00 Fuse Base?
The Mersen BB001FS is a compact and robust single-pole NH00 fuse base designed to provide secure mounting and dependable electrical connection for NH fuse-links in industrial AC and DC distribution systems. Also identified by the Mersen item number M216694, it supports circuits rated at up to 160 A and 1000 V AC or 1000 V DC.
This model incorporates IP20 indirect touch protection, helping shield accessible live components when the fuse base is correctly installed. Its single-pole construction allows multiple units to be mounted closely together, making it suitable for compact multipole assemblies in switchboards, machinery panels and distribution enclosures.
The BB001FS uses stable silver-plated electrolytic copper contacts with resilient captive steel springs to maintain reliable contact pressure under thermal and electrical stress. Screw mounting and screw-connected terminals provide a secure installation for demanding industrial circuit-protection applications.
