Overview

The Mersen P1028711A is a Size 3 NH fuse-link from the gTr series, designed for the specific protection of transformers. Operating at 400VAC, this fuse-link has a rated current of 160A and is rated for a transformer nominal capacity of 160kVA. The gTr time/current characteristic is optimized for transformer protection, offering superior selectivity compared to standard gG fuse-links. This characteristic allows the fuse-link to be loaded up to 1.3 times its nominal current for up to 10 hours, and it will operate at 1.5 times the nominal transformer current within 2 hours, ensuring reliable transformer operation under normal load conditions while providing essential overcurrent protection. Featuring live gripping-lugs and a top indicator, this NH fuse-link is part of the plug-in NH system, which also includes fuse bases, terminal covers, phase barriers, and fuse-link replacement devices. Due to the system's design, which does not guarantee non-interchangeability of rated current, handling by qualified professionals is mandatory. The body width is 50 mm, and the power dissipation at In is 14W. Manufactured by Mersen in France (FR).
