Mersen F217654 - The NH system is classified among plug-in fuse systems and is composed of: • fuse-base (possibly including terminal covers and phase barriers) • fuse-link with blade contact • fuse-link replacement device (LV HRC fuse puller) Since the design of this system cannot guarantee non-interchangeability of rated current it must be handled by a qualified professional. Type gG NH fuse-links are full range breaking capacity fuse-links and are used to protect cables and equipment. They can interrupt any current surge, from the lowest fusing current up to their breaking capacity, and so can be used alone as protection. They also protect electrical devices and industrial set-ups from the electrodynamic effects of very high short-circuit currents. NH Adpater.

Overview

The Mersen NH System, SKU F217654, offers robust plug-in fuse protection for industrial electrical infrastructure. This system comprises essential components: fuse-bases, fuse-links featuring blade contacts, and a dedicated fuse-link replacement device (LV HRC fuse puller). Designed for qualified professionals, the system's construction ensures non-interchangeability of rated current, enhancing safety and operational integrity. The Type gG NH fuse-links are full-range breaking capacity devices, engineered to interrupt any current surge from the lowest fusing current up to their specified breaking capacity. This capability allows them to function as standalone protection for cables and equipment, or as a critical safeguard against the electrodynamic effects of very high short-circuit currents in industrial setups. The included NH Adapter facilitates integration and compatibility within existing systems. Key specifications for compatible fuse-bases include options for voltage up to 1500 VDC and amperage ratings up to 630 A, with specific models like the HPBB1XL1PPFS supporting 250 A and HPBB2XL3L1PPFS supporting 500 A (with derating for NH3L up to 630 A). Dimensions for NH1, NH2, and NH3 fuse-links are provided, with sizes ranging from 20mm to 33mm in width. Mersen's NH fuse-links are available in various configurations, including gG (general purpose), aM (motor protection), and gTr (time-delayed), with voltage ratings up to 690 VAC and breaking capacities up to 80 kA. This system is manufactured in the US and adheres to IEC standards for low voltage fuse systems, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
