Overview

The Mersen E229774 is a DIN NH Standard fuse-link, size NH3, designed for high-performance industrial electrical protection. This gG type fuse-link delivers a full-range breaking capacity, capable of interrupting any current surge from the lowest fusing current up to its rated breaking capacity of 80 kA at 690VAC. It is engineered to protect cables, motors, transformers, and other critical equipment in industrial electrical systems, serving as a sole protective device where required. Key specifications include a rated current of 400A, rated voltage of 690VAC and 250VDC, and a body width of 70mm. The fuse-link features a double indicator system for clear status visibility and isolated gripping-lugs for enhanced safety during handling. The NH system design includes blade contacts for secure plug-in installation in compatible fuse-bases, with phase barriers and terminal covers available for system integration. This fuse-link is part of Mersen's NH fuse-link series, which spans sizes 000 to 3, with current ratings from 2A to 425A. The NH3 size is optimized for high-current applications, offering robust protection against electrodynamic effects of short-circuit currents. The fuse-link is designed for use in low-voltage industrial applications, including motor control centers, switchgear, and distribution panels where high breaking capacity and reliable operation are critical. Its compact 70mm width allows for efficient space utilization in control panels, while the double indicator system provides immediate visual confirmation of fuse status. The isolated tags ensure safe handling and reduce the risk of accidental contact during installation or replacement.
