Overview

The Mersen C212108 is a 3-pole NH fuse-base designed for robust electrical protection. This unit features a plastic base and is rated for 1000VAC and 1000VDC, with a maximum current capacity of 160A. It is specifically designed for NH00 size fuse-links and utilizes DIN rail connection for straightforward installation in control panels and distribution systems. The base is constructed with a single-part plastic body for sizes 00 to 3, ensuring stability and durability. Its contact springs are made of stable, silver-plated electrolytic copper, formed from a single piece. Highly resilient captive steel springs provide separate springing, making the contacts resistant to high thermal stress. This fuse-base is supplied with two phase-partition walls for enhanced safety. Optional plug-on covers are available for the fuse-links. The rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) is 6kV for size 00. This Mersen NH fuse-base (SKU: C212108) is manufactured in the US and is an essential component for reliable low-voltage fuse systems.
