Why Choose the Mersen NH3GG50V160 NH Fuse-Link?

The Mersen NH3GG50V160 is a reliable NH gG low voltage fuse-link designed to provide full-range protection against overloads and short circuits in industrial electrical distribution systems. Manufactured to recognised DIN NH standards, it is suitable for protecting cables, conductors, switchgear and general-purpose low voltage circuits.

As part of the established Mersen NH gG 500 VAC fuse-link series, the NH3GG50V160 combines a high breaking capacity with robust ceramic construction for dependable performance in demanding electrical installations. Its double indication system allows maintenance personnel to identify an operated fuse quickly, while the live gripping lugs support handling with a suitable NH fuse replacement device.

With a rated current of 160 A, a maximum rated voltage of 500 V AC and a 250 V DC rating, the NH3GG50V160 is suitable for industrial switchboards, distribution panels, machinery and commercial power systems. Its NH3 format and standard blade terminals allow straightforward integration into compatible NH fuse bases.

Key Advantages

  • Full-range gG protection against overloads and short circuits.
  • 160 A current rating for industrial distribution applications.
  • 500 V AC and 250 V DC ratings for flexible circuit protection.
  • High 120 kA AC breaking capacity for dependable fault interruption.
  • Double indicator provides rapid visual identification after fuse operation.
  • Durable ceramic body supports reliable use in demanding environments.
  • DIN NH standard dimensions simplify installation in compatible fuse bases.

Key Features

  • Mersen NH gG 500 VAC fuse-link series.
  • 160 A rated current.
  • 500 V AC rated voltage.
  • 250 V DC rated voltage.
  • NH3 fuse size.
  • General-purpose gG operating characteristic.
  • Double fuse operation indicator.

  • Brass plain-blade terminals.
  • Ceramic insulating body.

Reliable Protection for Electrical Distribution Systems

The Mersen NH3GG50V160 uses a gG operating characteristic to provide full-range protection for cables and electrical distribution circuits. It responds to both sustained overload conditions and high short-circuit currents, helping to reduce the risk of damage to conductors, switchgear and connected equipment.

Its high breaking capacity makes it suitable for installations with significant prospective fault currents. The standard NH3 construction also allows the fuse-link to be used in compatible industrial fuse bases, although installation and replacement should only be carried out by suitably qualified electrical personnel using the correct protective equipment and fuse-handling device.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial low voltage distribution panels.
  • Electrical switchboards and switchgear assemblies.
  • Cable and conductor protection.
  • Commercial power distribution systems.
  • Manufacturing and processing equipment.
  • OEM machinery and control panels.
  • Building services electrical installations.
