Overview

The Mersen NLS400 (SKU: NLS400) is a single-pole neutral link designed for low-voltage IEC fuse systems. This component replaces Class H, K, and R fuses in panelboards, switchgear, and motor control centers. The NLS400 features a ceramic body with silver-plated copper contacts, providing a rated breaking capacity of 120 kA for reliable fault protection. Its phenolic insulator ensures high dielectric strength and thermal stability in harsh industrial environments. The neutral link uses box-type connectors compatible with copper conductors from 1000 kcmil to 250 kcmil and aluminum conductors from 1000 kcmil to 350 kcmil. Installation requires precise torque settings: 600 in-lb for the main connector and 228 in-lb for the fuse bolt to maintain secure electrical connections and prevent damage. Conforming to DIN 43620 standards, the NLS400 is ideal for applications requiring robust neutral point connections in low-voltage systems. This component is part of Mersen's NH fuse-link series, designed for top-indicator and live-gripping-lug applications. Rated at 600V AC and 400A, it offers a 120 kA breaking capacity. The Mersen NLS400 is built with a ceramic body and silver-plated copper contacts for durability and conductivity. It is rated for 600V AC and 400A, with a significant 120 kA breaking capacity, ensuring safety in fault conditions.
