Why Choose the Mersen NH3GG50V160-1 NH Fuse-Link?

The Mersen NH3GG50V160-1 is a high-performance NH gG low-voltage fuse-link designed for general-purpose protection of cables, conductors and electrical distribution circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Mersen NH gG 500 V AC fuse-link series, it provides dependable circuit protection for industrial electrical installations, switchgear and power distribution equipment.

This NH fuse-link combines a 160 A rated current with a 500 V AC IEC rated voltage and the full-range gG operating characteristic. Its NH3 format is designed for use with compatible NH fuse bases and switching equipment, while the double indication system provides convenient visual identification of fuse operation.

With a high 120 kA AC rated breaking capacity, the NH3GG50V160-1 is suitable for installations where substantial prospective short-circuit currents may occur. The fuse-link also features isolated gripping lugs for safer handling with the appropriate NH fuse-link replacement device and is intended for installation and replacement by suitably qualified personnel.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Circuits

NH gG fuse-links provide full-range protection against both overload and short-circuit currents. When an excessive current occurs, the fuse element interrupts the circuit to help protect cables, conductors and connected electrical installations from damaging thermal and electrodynamic effects.

The Mersen NH3GG50V160-1 is designed for industrial low-voltage distribution systems where dependable fault interruption and straightforward fuse replacement are required. Its high breaking capacity makes it particularly suitable for switchboards, distribution panels, machinery and other installations with significant prospective fault currents.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial low-voltage power distribution systems.
  • Electrical switchboards and distribution panels.
  • Cable and conductor overload protection.
  • Short-circuit protection for electrical installations.
  • Industrial machinery and control equipment.
  • Commercial and industrial switchgear.
  • Power distribution feeders and branch circuits.
