Why Choose the Mersen NH4AGTR160KVA-8 Transformer Protection Fuse-Link?
The Mersen NH4AGTR160KVA-8 is a specialist DIN NH gTr fuse-link developed specifically for protecting distribution transformers in low-voltage electrical systems. As part of Mersen's NH gTr 400 V AC transformer fuse-link range, it provides a time/current characteristic optimised to withstand transformer energisation currents whilst delivering dependable protection against overloads and short-circuit faults.
Unlike standard gG fuse-links, the gTr operating characteristic is designed specifically for transformer applications. This helps prevent nuisance fuse operation during transformer inrush whilst maintaining excellent fault protection and coordination with downstream protective devices.
Designed for 160 kVA transformers, the NH4AGTR160KVA-8 features a 231 A rated current, 400 V AC rated voltage and an NH4a body size. The fuse incorporates a top indicator and live gripping lugs, making it ideal for industrial substations, transformer feeders, switchboards and commercial power distribution systems.
