The Mersen BB0COV is a protective touch-protection cover for NH Size 0 fuse tags, designed to shield the exposed gripping lugs of NH fuse links installed in compatible fuse bases. Also identified by Mersen item number F214181, it provides an additional physical barrier around accessible conductive components within industrial low-voltage fuse systems.
When an NH fuse link is installed in an open fuse base, its gripping tags may remain accessible. The BB0COV fits over these areas to help reduce the risk of accidental contact during inspection, operation and routine maintenance. Its purpose-designed construction supports safer switchboard and control-panel installations without affecting the protective function of the fuse link.
Developed for NH Size 0 fuse systems, the BB0COV is suitable for use in industrial distribution boards, motor control centres, machinery panels and other electrical assemblies incorporating compatible NH fuse bases. Its compact plastic construction makes it a practical safety accessory for new installations and existing panel upgrades.

Additional Touch Protection for NH Fuse Installations
NH fuse links feature gripping lugs that allow qualified personnel to install and remove the fuse using a suitable NH fuse handle. Depending on the fuse-base arrangement, these tags may remain accessible after installation. Protective tag covers provide an insulating barrier around the exposed areas while leaving the fuse correctly seated in its base.
The Mersen BB0COV supports safer electrical-panel design by helping prevent unintended contact with the fuse-link tags. Correct compatibility with the selected NH Size 0 fuse link and fuse base should always be confirmed before installation, and work on electrical equipment should only be undertaken by suitably qualified personnel.
