Why Choose the Mersen NH3AM69V250 NH Fuse-Link?

The Mersen NH3AM69V250 is a high-performance DIN NH size 3 aM fuse-link designed specifically for short-circuit protection of industrial motor circuits. Rated at 250 A and 690 V AC, it delivers excellent current-limiting performance to safeguard motors, contactors, motor starters and associated switchgear against damaging fault currents.

Featuring an aM partial-range operating characteristic, the NH3AM69V250 is engineered to tolerate the high inrush currents generated during motor starting while providing rapid interruption of severe short-circuit faults. As with all aM fuse-links, it should be coordinated with a suitable overload relay or motor protection device, as overload protection is provided separately.

The fuse-link incorporates a robust ceramic body, silver-plated blade contacts, live gripping lugs and a double fuse-operation indicator. Manufactured to the DIN NH standard, it is suitable for installation in compatible NH fuse bases and switch-fuse disconnectors throughout industrial motor control systems.

Key Advantages

  • Purpose-designed aM short-circuit protection for motor circuits.
  • 250 A rated current for demanding industrial applications.
  • 690 V AC operating voltage.
  • 80 kA AC breaking capacity for dependable fault interruption.
  • Allows normal motor starting currents without nuisance operation.
  • Double indication system enables rapid fuse status identification.

Key Features

  • Mersen NH aM 690 V fuse-link series.
  • DIN NH size 3.
  • 250 A rated current.
  • 690 V AC rated voltage.
  • Partial-range aM operating characteristic.
  • Designed for motor circuit short-circuit protection.
  • Double blown-fuse indicator.
  • Live, non-isolated gripping lugs.
  • Silver-plated copper blade contacts.
  • Robust ceramic insulating body.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for Motor Circuits

Industrial motors can generate substantial inrush currents during starting. The Mersen NH3AM69V250 is specifically designed to tolerate these temporary currents while rapidly interrupting high-energy short-circuit faults, helping minimise damage to motors and associated electrical equipment.

As an aM fuse-link, the NH3AM69V250 should always be installed alongside a suitable overload protection device. Installation and replacement should only be carried out by qualified electrical professionals using approved NH fuse handling equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial motor control centres.
  • Direct-on-line motor starters.
  • Star-delta motor starter assemblies.
  • Industrial pumps, compressors and fans.
  • Conveyor and material handling equipment.
  • Manufacturing machinery.
  • Industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mersen NH3AM69V250 used for?

This fuse-link provides short-circuit protection for industrial motor circuits, motor starters and associated switching equipment.

What is the current rating of this fuse-link?

The Mersen NH3AM69V250 has a rated current of 250 A.

What voltage is the NH3AM69V250 rated for?

It is designed for operation on electrical systems up to 690 V AC.

What does the aM fuse characteristic mean?

The aM characteristic identifies a partial-range motor protection fuse that tolerates motor starting currents while providing reliable short-circuit protection.

Does this fuse require separate overload protection?

Yes. The NH3AM69V250 must always be coordinated with an appropriate overload relay or motor protection device because an aM fuse-link provides short-circuit protection only.
