Overview

The Mersen K1028730 is a high-quality NH Standard fuse-link designed for the specific protection of transformers. As part of the NH plug-in fuse system, it comprises a fuse-base, optional terminal covers and phase barriers, and the fuse-link itself, along with a fuse-link replacement device. This particular fuse-link is classified as 'gTr', indicating its specialized application for transformer protection. Its time/current characteristic is precisely engineered to match that of the transformer it safeguards, ensuring optimal selectivity when compared to NH fuse-links with a 'gG' characteristic. The Mersen K1028730 operates at 400VAC, with a rated current of 315A and a transformer nominal capacity of 315 kVA. It features live gripping-lugs and a top indicator for enhanced safety and operational visibility. The body width measures 72.9 mm. A key operational feature of the 'gTr' fuses is their ability to withstand a continuous load of 1.3 times their nominal current for up to 10 hours. Furthermore, they are designed to operate reliably at 1.5 times the nominal transformer current within a 2-hour timeframe, providing robust protection against overloads and short circuits without unnecessary tripping. Due to the design of the NH system, which cannot guarantee non-interchangeability of rated current, handling and replacement must be performed by a qualified professional. This fuse-link is manufactured in France (FR).
