Why Choose the Mersen NH00GS69V160PV Protistor® High-Speed Fuse?
The Mersen NH00GS69V160PV is a Protistor® NH size 00 high-speed semiconductor fuse designed to protect sensitive power electronic equipment against overloads and short-circuit faults. Its gS operating characteristic provides full-range protection for semiconductor devices, making it suitable for industrial systems where rapid fault interruption and dependable current limitation are essential.
Rated at 160 A and 690 V AC, the NH00GS69V160PV helps reduce the thermal and electrical energy reaching semiconductor components such as IGBTs, thyristors, diodes and rectifier assemblies. Its fast response supports reliable protection of valuable equipment while helping to minimise damage, maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
The compact NH size 00 blade-contact format allows installation in compatible NH fuse bases and switch-disconnector assemblies. This makes the fuse suitable for variable frequency drives, industrial converters, UPS systems, renewable energy equipment and other power electronic applications.

Full-Range Protection for Power Electronics
The gS operating class combines high-speed semiconductor protection with full-range fault coverage. This allows the NH00GS69V160PV to respond to both overload and short-circuit conditions while limiting the amount of energy passed through to downstream equipment.
This protection is particularly valuable in drives, inverters, converters and rectifier systems where semiconductor devices can be damaged by brief overcurrent events. Correct fuse selection helps improve equipment reliability and reduce the risk of costly component failure.
Typical Applications
- Variable frequency drives and motor controllers.
- Industrial power converters.
- Rectifiers and inverter systems.
- Uninterruptible power supplies.
- Photovoltaic and renewable energy equipment.
- Industrial automation panels.
- Power semiconductor assemblies.
