Why Choose the Mersen NH32GTR400KVA-1 Transformer Protection Fuse-Link?
The Mersen NH32GTR400KVA-1 is a high-performance DIN NH gTr transformer protection fuse-link designed to protect low voltage distribution transformers against overloads and short-circuit faults. Its specialised time-current characteristic is adapted to transformer operating behaviour, helping provide reliable protection without unnecessary operation during normal transformer energisation.
Part of the Mersen NH gTr 400 V AC fuse-link range, this model is intended for transformers with a nominal rating of 400 kVA. The NH3 fuse-link combines a robust ceramic body, silver-plated copper blade contacts and a centre-mounted indication system for dependable service in industrial and commercial power distribution installations.
With a rated current of 577 A, a 400 V AC operating voltage and a maximum breaking capacity of 100 kA, the NH32GTR400KVA-1 provides effective current limitation and fault interruption. Its isolated gripping lugs support safer handling by qualified electrical professionals using an appropriate NH fuse replacement device.
