Overview

The Mersen H222486 is a robust NH plastic base designed for 160A fuse-links, operating at up to 1000VAC and 1000VDC. This 4-pole unit is engineered for DIN rail installation, offering a secure and efficient mounting solution. The base features stable, silver-plated contact springs made from electrolytic copper, formed from a single piece for enhanced reliability. Highly resilient captive steel springs provide separate springing, ensuring the contacts remain invulnerable to high thermal stress, a critical factor in demanding industrial applications. This specific model is designed for NH fuse-links with 8mm contact blades. It is compatible with microswitches for fuse monitoring, provided the fuse-link includes a striker. The rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) is 8kV for sizes 0-4, ensuring protection against transient overvoltages. The plastic construction offers durability and electrical insulation. Mersen's NH fuse-bases are known for their close mounting capabilities in parallel rows, and this 4-pole configuration further optimizes space utilization in control panels and electrical distribution systems. The H222486 is manufactured in the US.
