Overview

The Mersen F226716 is a robust 3-pole NH fuse-base designed for industrial applications requiring reliable overcurrent protection. Manufactured by Mersen, this unit is rated for 1000VAC and 1000VDC, with a substantial 630A current carrying capacity. It features screw connections for secure mounting and provides indirect touch protection with an IP20 rating, ensuring operator safety. This NH3 size fuse-base is constructed with a stable, one-piece silver-plated electrolytic copper contact system, reinforced by highly resilient captive steel springs. This design ensures the contacts remain invulnerable to high thermal stress, maintaining consistent performance even under demanding conditions. Key specifications include: * **Manufacturer:** Mersen * **SKU:** F226716 * **Fuse-Link Compatibility:** Designed for NH3L fuse-links up to 630A. * **Voltage Rating:** 1000VAC / 1000VDC * **Amperage Rating:** 630A * **Poles:** 3 * **Connection Type:** Screw Connection * **Protection:** Indirect Touch Protection, IP20 * **Dimensions:** Size NH3 * **Impulse Withstand Voltage (Uimp):** 8kV (for sizes 0-4) The Mersen NH fuse-bases are available in single-pole and three-pole configurations and can be closely mounted in parallel rows. Each three-pole base is supplied with two phase-partition walls for enhanced safety. Optional plug-on covers for fuse-links can also be supplied. The plastic fuse-bases utilize a single-part plastic base for sizes 00 to 3, while size 4 features a metal baseplate with ceramic bases. The stable silver-plated contact springs are made of electrolytic copper and formed from one piece, with separate springing provided by highly resilient captive steel springs, making the contact invulnerable to high thermal stress. Size 4 NH fuse-bases are designed for size 4 fuse-links with 8 mm contact blades. While a microswitch can be used with some NH fuse-links with strikers, this specific model (F226716) is designed for indirect touch protection and does not support microswitch integration. This product is manufactured in the US.
