Why Choose the Mersen NH2GTR160KVA Transformer Protection Fuse?
The Mersen NH2GTR160KVA is a high-performance DIN NH gTr fuse-link specifically engineered to protect low voltage distribution transformers against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Mersen, this NH2 fuse-link is designed with a time-current characteristic that closely matches transformer operating conditions, ensuring dependable protection while minimising unnecessary fuse operation.
The specialised gTr characteristic provides excellent transformer protection by allowing normal energisation inrush currents while responding rapidly to fault conditions. This helps maximise transformer availability and reduces unwanted downtime in industrial and commercial power distribution systems.
Designed for protecting transformers with a nominal capacity of 160 kVA, the NH2GTR160KVA features a 400 V AC rating, 231 A current rating, NH2 size construction and an integrated centre indicator for quick visual identification following fuse operation.
