Why Choose the Mersen NH2GTR125KVA-8 Transformer Protection Fuse?
The Mersen NH2GTR125KVA-8 is a DIN NH size 2 gTr fuse-link specifically engineered for protecting low-voltage distribution transformers. Designed for use on 400 V AC systems, this transformer protection fuse is optimised for transformers with a nominal capacity of 125 kVA, delivering excellent discrimination while withstanding normal transformer energisation currents.
Unlike general-purpose gG fuse-links, the gTr characteristic is tailored to the time/current characteristics of distribution transformers. This enables reliable protection against short circuits while avoiding nuisance operation during transformer magnetising inrush, helping maximise system availability and equipment life.
The NH2GTR125KVA-8 features a robust ceramic body, silver-plated blade contacts, live gripping lugs and a top-mounted blown fuse indicator. Manufactured to the DIN NH standard, it is intended for installation in compatible NH fuse bases and transformer switch-fuse units by qualified electrical professionals.
