Why Choose the Mersen N1043844 NH Solid Link?
The Mersen N1043844, catalogue number 33SZSM1, is a heavy-duty NH Size 3 solid link designed for switching, isolation and circuit continuity within compatible NH fuse bases and fuse-switch disconnectors. Unlike a conventional fuse link, this solid link contains no fusible element and is intended to provide a permanent conductive connection rather than overcurrent protection.
Part of the Mersen IEC Solid Links range, the N1043844 uses a robust copper current path with a special nickel-plated finish. Its low-resistance construction supports efficient current transmission with reduced power dissipation, making it suitable for demanding industrial switchgear and electrical distribution applications.
With an NH3 format and a rated current of 1000 A, the N1043844 can be used in compatible NH equipment where a safe, visible isolation point or non-fused connection is required. Its dimensions correspond to those of an NH fuse link, allowing straightforward installation and removal with an approved NH fuse handle.

Reliable Switching and Isolation for NH Systems
NH solid links can be fitted in place of fuse links where a permanent conductive path is required. When used with suitable NH fuse-switch disconnectors or fuse bases, they can provide a clear and visible means of switching or isolating part of an electrical distribution system.
The N1043844 does not interrupt overload or short-circuit currents and must therefore only be used where appropriate upstream or downstream protective devices are installed. Correct system design and coordination are essential to ensure that the connected conductors and equipment remain adequately protected.
Typical Applications
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- NH fuse-switch disconnectors.
- Electrical isolation points.
- High-current busbar and feeder connections.
- Industrial control and power distribution systems.
- Temporary or permanent circuit bridging arrangements.
