Overview

The Mersen X1028718 is a DIN NH Standard fuse-link, size NH4a, designed for transformer protection. This gTr type fuse-link features a time/current characteristic specifically adapted for optimal selectivity with other NH fuse-links of characteristic gG, ensuring precise protection for transformers. Rated for 400VAC, this fuse-link has a nominal current (In) of 144A and a transformer nominal capacity of 100 kVA. The fuse-link is engineered to handle continuous loads of 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, providing robust protection against overloads and short circuits. Key features include live gripping-lugs and a center indicator for clear status indication. The body width is 72.9 mm, and it is manufactured by Mersen in France (FR). This NH system fuse-link is part of a plug-in system that includes a fuse-base, optional terminal covers and phase barriers, and a fuse-link replacement device. Due to the design of the NH system, which does not guarantee non-interchangeability of rated current, handling by a qualified professional is mandatory. This fuse-link is ideal for applications requiring reliable transformer protection where precise selectivity and defined operating characteristics are paramount. Its robust construction and specific gTr characteristic make it a dependable choice for safeguarding valuable transformer assets.
