Why Choose the Mersen NH2AM69V160P-2 NH Fuse Link?
The Mersen NH2AM69V160P-2, manufacturer item number B201849, is a premium NH2 aM fuse link engineered to provide dependable short-circuit protection for motors, motor starters and industrial electrical equipment. Manufactured by Mersen, this DIN-standard fuse link combines a robust ceramic body with silver-plated copper blade contacts for reliable performance in demanding low-voltage power systems.
Rated at 160 A and 690 V AC, the NH2AM69V160P-2 features an aM operating characteristic, making it ideal for motor circuits where overload protection is provided separately. The fuse is designed to withstand normal motor starting currents while rapidly interrupting high fault currents to protect valuable equipment.
The fuse incorporates live gripping tags and an integrated striker indication system, allowing easy identification of an operated fuse and compatibility with auxiliary signalling devices. Its NH2 format makes it suitable for industrial switchgear, motor control centres, pumps, compressors and OEM machinery.
