Reliable Switching and Protection for 630 A Distribution Systems
The Mersen K1002188 combines the functions of a switch disconnector with NH fuse protection. This allows electrical personnel to isolate downstream circuits visibly while the installed fuse links provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits.
Its AC-23B utilisation category at 400 V makes the unit suitable for switching highly inductive loads, including motor circuits, when applied within the manufacturer’s ratings. The 80 kA short-circuit current rating provides additional confidence in installations with high prospective fault levels.
The vertical mounting arrangement connects directly to a 185 mm busbar system, reducing the need for extensive cabling and helping panel builders create compact, organised distribution assemblies. Symmetrical construction allows outgoing cables to be connected at either the top or bottom to suit the switchboard layout.
