Why Choose the Mersen NH3AM50V425 NH Fuse-Link?
The Mersen NH3AM50V425 is a high-capacity DIN NH aM fuse-link designed to provide reliable short-circuit protection for powerful industrial motors and associated electrical equipment. Manufactured by Mersen, this NH3 size fuse-link delivers strong current-limiting performance for demanding motor feeders, machinery and low voltage distribution systems.
As part of the established Mersen NH aM 500 V AC fuse-link series, the NH3AM50V425 features live gripping lugs and a double indicator. These features support professional fuse handling and allow maintenance personnel to identify an operated fuse-link quickly, helping reduce inspection time and equipment downtime.
With a rated current of 425 A, a rated operating voltage of 500 V AC and a maximum breaking capacity of 120 kA AC, the NH3AM50V425 is suitable for high-power motor circuits requiring dependable short-circuit protection alongside a correctly selected overload protection device.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for High-Power Motors
The Mersen NH3AM50V425 is engineered to interrupt damaging short-circuit currents while accommodating the temporary inrush currents associated with motor starting. Its aM operating characteristic provides partial-range protection and is specifically intended for motor circuits where reliable short-circuit interruption is required.
Because an aM fuse-link does not provide complete overload protection, it must be used with an appropriate overload relay, motor protection circuit breaker or equivalent protective device. When correctly coordinated, this combination provides effective protection for motors, contactors, cables and associated control equipment.
Typical Applications
- High-power industrial motor circuits.
- Motor control centres and motor feeders.
- Industrial pumps, fans and compressors.
- Heavy manufacturing machinery.
- Processing and production equipment.
- Industrial switchboards and control panels.
