Overview

Mersen NH fuse-bases (SKU: A218270) deliver robust, high-performance electrical protection for industrial applications, available in sizes 00 to 4a with ceramic, steatite, metal, or plastic construction. These fuse-bases are engineered for single-pole and three-pole configurations, enabling parallel mounting in compact spaces. Three-pole designs include two phase-partition walls for enhanced safety and phase separation. The silver-plated contact springs, crafted from electrolytic copper, ensure superior conductivity and resistance to thermal stress, while captive steel springs provide independent springing for long-term reliability. Designed for compatibility with NH fuse-links, sizes 00 to 3 feature a single-part steatite or plastic base, while size 4 bases include a metal baseplate with two ceramic bases. Size 4 and 4a bases accommodate 8 mm and 6 mm contact blades, respectively, ensuring broad compatibility with industrial fuse-links. NH-ISO plug-on covers are available for added protection, clipping onto contact springs to prevent accidental contact. These fuse-bases support screw or clamp connections and can be installed via screw mounting or DIN rail, offering flexible integration into power distribution systems, industrial machinery, and electrical panels. Key specifications include rated currents from 160A to 630A (depending on size), with power acceptance up to 12W for size 00-160A bases. The stable silver-plated contacts and resilient steel springs ensure consistent performance under high thermal stress, making these fuse-bases ideal for demanding industrial environments. Mersen’s NH fuse-bases comply with IEC 60269-1, IEC 60269-2, and other relevant standards, providing certified safety and reliability for low-voltage fuse systems.
