Overview

The Mersen K216692 DIN NH3 fuse-link is a high-interrupting-capacity plug-in fuse designed for low-voltage AC applications up to 500VAC, meeting DIN standards for reliability and performance. Rated at 630A with a breaking capacity of 120kA, this fuse-link provides robust short-circuit protection in industrial power distribution systems, including motor circuits, transformers, and distribution panels. The NH3 size offers a body width of 69mm, ensuring compatibility with standard NH3 fuse-bases and replacement devices. It features live tags for safe handling during installation and replacement, reducing the risk of electrical shock. Equipped with a striker mechanism, the K216692 provides visual indication of fuse operation, enabling quick fault identification and minimizing downtime in critical applications. Designed for use with blade contact fuse-bases, this fuse-link is part of the NH system, a globally recognized standard for low-voltage fuse protection. The fuse-link's power dissipation at rated current is 42W, making it suitable for high-current industrial environments where thermal management is critical.
