Why Choose the ABB OFAF00AM160 DIN Motor Fuse?
The ABB OFAF00AM160 is a high-performance DIN-type HRC motor fuse link designed specifically for short-circuit protection of motor circuits in industrial and commercial electrical installations. As part of the ABB OFAF motor fuse range, it features an aM utilisation category developed for motor applications where overload protection is provided separately by an overload relay or other motor protection device.
The OFAF00AM160 uses the standardised DIN size 00 / NH00 format for installation in compatible fuse bases, switch-fuse equipment and motor control assemblies. Its motor-rated characteristics allow the fuse to withstand normal motor starting currents while providing dependable interruption of high short-circuit currents.
With a rated current of 160 A and a rated voltage of 500 V AC, the OFAF00AM160 is designed for demanding industrial motor protection applications. ABB order code 1SCA022697R3150 identifies this specific 160 A, size 00 aM fuse within the OFAF range.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for Motor Circuits
Motor circuits require specialised protection because electric motors can draw substantially higher current during starting than during normal operation. An aM fuse is designed to tolerate these normal starting conditions while providing high-breaking-capacity protection against damaging short-circuit currents.
The ABB OFAF00AM160 is designed to operate as part of a coordinated motor protection system. The fuse provides short-circuit protection, while a suitable overload relay, motor protection circuit breaker or equivalent protective device provides overload protection for the motor.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electric motor circuits.
- Motor control centres and MCC panels.
- Pumps, fans and compressor systems.
- Conveyors and material handling machinery.
- Industrial production and processing equipment.
- Switchboards and motor control panels.
