Overview

The Mersen Y215025 is a DIN NH Standard fuse-link (Size NH4) designed for high-capacity industrial protection. Rated at 500A with a voltage rating of 690V AC and 250V DC (IEC), this gG (general purpose) fuse-link provides full-range breaking capacity, interrupting currents from the lowest fusing level up to its rated breaking capacity. It is engineered to protect cables and low-voltage networks from overcurrents and short-circuit events, safeguarding electrical devices and industrial setups from electrodynamic stresses caused by high short-circuit currents. Key specifications include a body width of 100.10 mm, ensuring compatibility with standard NH fuse bases. The fuse-link features live gripping-lugs for safe handling and a top indicator for clear operational status visibility. Constructed with a ceramic body and copper contacts with silver plating, it meets IEC/EN 60269-1 and -2 standards, as well as VDE 0636 Part 201. The rated breaking capacity is 120 kA AC and 70 kA DC (IEC), making it suitable for demanding industrial applications. Power dissipation at rated current is 40W, with a package weight of 2.1 kg per unit. The NH system, a plug-in fuse system, consists of a fuse-base, fuse-link with blade contact, and a fuse-link replacement device (LV HRC fuse puller). Note that the design does not guarantee non-interchangeability of rated current, requiring handling by qualified professionals. This fuse-link is part of Mersen's low-voltage IEC fuse range, specifically designed for robust and reliable protection in industrial electrical systems.
