Why Choose the Mersen NH42GTR400KVA-8 Transformer Fuse-Link?

The Mersen NH42GTR400KVA-8 is a heavy-duty DIN NH gTr transformer fuse-link designed to provide dependable short-circuit protection for low voltage distribution transformers. Manufactured by Mersen, this NH4a size fuse-link is engineered to withstand transformer magnetising inrush currents while providing rapid interruption of damaging fault currents in demanding industrial and commercial power distribution systems.

Part of the proven Mersen NH gTr 400 V AC fuse-link series, the NH42GTR400KVA-8 incorporates live gripping lugs and a top-mounted indicator for quick visual inspection and safer maintenance. Its advanced current-limiting design helps minimise thermal and mechanical stress on transformers, switchgear and associated equipment during fault conditions.

Designed specifically for protecting 400 kVA transformers, the NH42GTR400KVA-8 has a 577 A rated current and is intended for operation on 400 V AC systems. Its specialised gTr characteristic makes it ideal for transformer circuits requiring dependable protection without nuisance operation during energisation.
