Overview

The Mersen C217720 is a DIN NH Standard fuse-link, specifically aM (automatic motor protection) rated, and is size NH1. This fuse-link is engineered for a rated voltage of 690VAC and a rated current of 80A. It offers a substantial breaking capacity of 80 kA, ensuring robust protection. The C217720 is equipped with live tags, which provide a visual indication of its status, and a striker mechanism designed to facilitate safe operation and clear signaling. The physical dimensions of the fuse-link include a body width of 44.60 mm. As an integral component of the NH system, which is categorized as a plug-in fuse system, it is designed to work in conjunction with a fuse-base and a fuse-link replacement device. The NH system's design, which does not inherently guarantee non-interchangeability of rated current, necessitates that handling and replacement of this fuse-link be performed exclusively by a qualified professional to ensure safety and correct application. This Mersen fuse-link is manufactured in France (FR).
