Why Choose the Mersen NH000AM50V16 NH Fuse-Link?
The Mersen NH000AM50V16 is a compact and dependable DIN NH aM fuse-link designed specifically for short-circuit protection in industrial motor circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, this NH size 000 fuse-link provides strong current-limiting performance whilst allowing normal motor starting currents to pass without unnecessary fuse operation.
As part of the proven Mersen NH aM 500 V fuse-link series, the NH000AM50V16 features a durable ceramic body, silver-plated copper blade contacts, live gripping lugs and a double indication system. Its standardised NH construction enables installation in compatible fuse bases within motor control centres, industrial switchboards and machinery panels.
With a rated current of 16 A, a rated operating voltage of 500 V AC and a high 120 kA AC breaking capacity, the NH000AM50V16 provides reliable protection against severe fault currents. As an aM fuse-link, it must be coordinated with a suitable overload relay or motor protection device to provide complete motor circuit protection.

Reliable Motor Circuit Protection
aM fuse-links are partial-range protective devices developed specifically for motor circuits. They interrupt high short-circuit currents whilst tolerating the temporary inrush currents produced during motor starting, reducing the risk of nuisance fuse operation during normal machinery use.
The NH000AM50V16 provides short-circuit protection only and must be used with a thermal overload relay, motor protection circuit breaker or another suitable overload device. This coordinated arrangement provides effective protection for motors, contactors, cables and associated switching equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor control centres.
- Direct-on-line and reversing motor starters.
- Industrial switchboards and control panels.
- Pumps, fans and conveyor motor circuits.
- Manufacturing and processing machinery.
- OEM automation and machine-building applications.
