Why Choose the Mersen M160D30S Fuse Switch Disconnector?
The Mersen M160D30S is a robust 160 A fuse switch disconnector designed to provide dependable switching, circuit isolation and fuse protection in low-voltage industrial power distribution systems. Engineered for use with NH Size 00 fuse links, it combines load-break switching and overcurrent protection within a compact assembly.
The M160D30S features a three-pole 3+0 configuration and right-hand side operation, making it suitable for installation within switchboards, distribution panels and industrial control equipment where the operating mechanism must be accessed from the side. Its durable construction supports reliable performance in demanding electrical installations.
With a rated current of 160 A and an operating voltage of up to 690 V AC, the M160D30S is suitable for protecting feeders, machinery and other three-phase electrical loads. When fitted with correctly selected NH fuse links, it helps protect cables and equipment against overload and short-circuit conditions while providing a clearly defined means of isolation.
Key Advantages
Combines load switching, isolation and fuse protection in one device.
160 A rated current for industrial power distribution applications.
Designed for readily available NH Size 00 fuse links.
Three-pole 3+0 configuration for three-phase electrical circuits.
Right-hand side operation supports flexible switchboard layouts.
Suitable for systems operating at up to 690 V AC.
Key Features
Mersen fuse switch disconnector.
160 A nominal current rating.
NH Size 00 fuse-link compatibility.
Three switched poles in a 3+0 arrangement.
Right-hand side-operated mechanism.
Load-break switching capability for safe circuit isolation.
Compact design for installation in electrical assemblies.

Reliable Switching and Circuit Protection
Fuse switch disconnectors enable electrical circuits to be switched and isolated while incorporating replaceable fuse links for overcurrent protection. This combined arrangement can reduce the number of separate components required in a distribution panel and provides convenient access to the fuse links during planned maintenance.
The Mersen M160D30S is particularly suitable for panel-building applications that require a side-operated mechanism. When correctly installed and fitted with suitably rated NH fuse links, it provides reliable protection for cables, machinery and downstream electrical equipment.
Typical Applications
Industrial low-voltage switchboards.
Power distribution panels.
Motor control centres.
Machinery and production equipment.
Feeder and outgoing circuit protection.
