Mersen NH00GG50V160 NH fuse-link, gG, size 00, 500VAC, 160A

The Mersen NH00GG50V160 NH fuse-link is a type of gG (general purpose) fuse-link that is designed to be used in electrical circuits with a maximum voltage rating of 500VAC and a maximum current rating of 160A. The size 00 indicates its physical dimensions and compatibility with specific fuse holders. Fuse-links are used in electrical circuits as a protective device, to prevent overloads and short circuits from damaging equipment or causing fires. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the current passing through the fuse-link exceeds its rated value, causing the fuse-link to melt and break the circuit. The fuse-link is encased in a special material that is designed to prevent the spread of fire or explosion when the fuse-link melts. In summary, the Mersen NH00GG50V160 NH fuse-link is a safety device used to protect electrical equipment and prevent damage from electrical faults. Fuse link is utilized in the following areas: Residential Small Commercial (0 - 50kW)
