Why Choose the Mersen NH4AGTR315KVA-8 Transformer Fuse-Link?
The Mersen NH4AGTR315KVA-8 is a premium DIN NH size 4a gTr transformer protection fuse-link engineered specifically for protecting 315 kVA low voltage transformers. Rated at 400 V AC with a 455 A current rating, it is designed for transformer protection in industrial power distribution systems, substations, OEM equipment and commercial electrical installations.
Its specialised gTr operating characteristic is optimised for transformer applications, allowing transformer magnetising inrush currents while providing rapid interruption of genuine fault currents. This improves selectivity and coordination compared with standard gG fuse-links, helping maximise transformer protection and system reliability.
The NH4AGTR315KVA-8 features a durable ceramic body, top-mounted operating indicator, live gripping lugs and silver-plated copper blade contacts. Designed for installation in compatible NH size 4a fuse bases and fuse-switch disconnectors, it provides dependable long-term protection for demanding transformer applications.
