Why Choose the Mersen NH0AM69V160P-2 Motor Fuse Link?

The Mersen NH0AM69V160P-2 is a high-performance NH0 aM fuse link with striker designed specifically for the protection of motor circuits, motor starters and associated industrial equipment. Manufactured to DIN NH standards, this low-voltage fuse provides dependable short-circuit protection while allowing motors to withstand normal starting currents without nuisance operation.

Featuring an aM operating characteristic, the NH0AM69V160P-2 is intended for motor circuit protection when used in conjunction with a suitable thermal overload relay. The integrated striker mechanism provides clear mechanical indication when the fuse operates and can interface with compatible switch-disconnectors or signalling devices for enhanced system safety and maintenance efficiency.

With a rated current of 160 A and a rated voltage of 690 V AC, this NH size 0 fuse link is ideal for industrial motor control centres, switchboards and machinery power circuits. Its ceramic body and live gripping tags provide dependable performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.

Key Advantages

  • Designed specifically for motor short-circuit protection.
  • 160 A rated current for industrial motor applications.
  • 690 V AC rated voltage for demanding industrial power systems.
  • 80 kA breaking capacity provides dependable fault interruption.
  • Integrated striker enables rapid fault indication.
  • Current-limiting design helps minimise damage to motors and associated equipment.

Key Features

  • Mersen NH aM fuse-link series.
  • 160 A current rating.
  • 690 V AC rated voltage.
  • NH0 DIN fuse size.
  • aM motor protection characteristic.
  • Integrated mechanical striker indication.
  • Live gripping tags.
  • Ceramic body construction.
  • Suitable for use with thermal overload relays.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Motor Circuits

The Mersen NH0AM69V160P-2 rapidly interrupts high short-circuit currents before they can damage motors, contactors and associated electrical equipment. Its current-limiting performance reduces thermal stress and electrodynamic forces, helping improve equipment reliability while reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.

Unlike gG fuse links, the aM characteristic is specifically designed for motor circuit protection and should always be used together with an appropriately selected thermal overload relay to provide complete motor protection against overload and short-circuit conditions.

Typical Applications

  • Motor control centres (MCCs).
  • Industrial motor starters.
  • Pump and fan motor circuits.
  • Conveyor systems.
  • Industrial machinery.
  • Manufacturing and processing plants.
