Why Choose the Mersen NH1GG50V160 NH Fuse-Link?

The Mersen NH1GG50V160 is a high-performance DIN NH gG fuse-link designed to provide full-range protection for cables, conductors and low-voltage electrical equipment. With a 160 A rated current, a 500 V AC rating and a 250 V DC rating, this NH fuse-link is suitable for industrial and commercial power distribution systems.

Manufactured in the standard NH1 blade-contact format, the NH1GG50V160 installs into compatible NH fuse bases and switch-fuse assemblies. Its gG operating characteristic provides dependable protection against sustained overloads and high short-circuit currents, helping prevent damage to cables, busbars, switchgear and connected equipment.

The fuse features live gripping lugs, a double visual indicator and a durable ceramic body. Its 120 kA AC breaking capacity provides reliable interruption of substantial prospective fault currents in demanding industrial installations.
