Overview

Mersen NH00 160A 1000VAC/VDC 1-pole plastic fuse base (F215170) delivers reliable low-voltage fuse protection in industrial electrical systems. Designed for NH fuse-links with square contacts (EP type), this single-pole base supports up to 160A continuous current at 1000VAC or 1000VDC, making it ideal for power distribution, motor control centers, and panelboard applications. The high-impact plastic housing ensures durability while maintaining a compact 0.13 kg profile for space-efficient installations. Silver-plated electrolytic copper contact springs provide low-resistance connections, and captive steel springs ensure thermal stability under high loads. Rated for 6kV impulse withstand voltage (Uimp), this fuse base meets IEC standards for overcurrent protection. Compatible with standard NH fuse-links, it supports close mounting in parallel rows and accepts optional striker microswitches (250VAC/10A, 6.3x0.8mm terminals) for blown-fuse indication. Phase partition walls are included for multi-pole assemblies, and indirect touch protection is available in select configurations. Trust Mersen’s proven reliability for critical protection in industrial and commercial electrical infrastructure.
