Overview

The Mersen L215681 NH plastic fuse base (Size NH3) is a high-current, 4-pole industrial fuse holder designed for 1000VAC and 1000VDC applications up to 630A. Engineered for parallel mounting in compact rows, this fuse base features a single-part plastic construction with silver-plated electrolytic copper contact springs for superior conductivity and thermal resilience. The captive steel springs ensure consistent contact pressure, even under high thermal stress, while the PP-type screw connection provides secure, vibration-resistant terminations. Each three-pole base includes phase partition walls for enhanced safety and phase isolation. Compatible with NH fuse-links featuring 8mm contact blades, the L215681 supports indirect touch protection (IP20) and can integrate a microswitch (250VAC/10A, 6.3x0.8mm terminals) for striker-type fuse-links, enabling remote monitoring of fuse status. With a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6kV (size 00) or 8kV (sizes 0-4), this fuse base meets IEC NH standards for low-voltage fuse systems. Ideal for power distribution panels, motor control centers, and industrial switchgear where reliable overcurrent protection and compact mounting are critical.
