Overview

The Mersen Z226710 NH0 fuse base is a high-reliability industrial component engineered for 160A applications at 1000VAC and 1000VDC. This three-pole screw-connected fuse base is optimized for NH fuse-links, including NH1XL and gPV fuse-links size 121 with blade contacts, providing robust overcurrent protection in demanding power distribution systems. The single-part plastic construction ensures lightweight durability with high thermal stability, while silver-plated contact springs made from electrolytic copper deliver reliable conductivity. Captive steel springs resist thermal stress, maintaining consistent performance under load. Designed for close mounting in parallel rows, the Z226710 includes two phase-partition walls for enhanced safety. For blown fuse signaling, a microswitch (250VAC/10A, 6.3x0.8mm terminals) can be integrated with compatible fuse-links. With a package weight of 0.91 kg, this fuse base is ideal for industrial power distribution, motor control centers, and renewable energy applications where high-voltage protection is critical.
  • 160A current rating with 1000VAC/VDC voltage compatibility
  • 3-pole screw connection for NH fuse-links (size 121 blade contacts)
  • IP20 indirect touch protection for enhanced safety
  • Silver-plated electrolytic copper contact springs for reliable conductivity
