Why Choose the Mersen NH4AM69V400-8 NH Fuse-Link?
The Mersen NH4AM69V400-8 is a heavy-duty DIN NH aM fuse-link engineered to provide reliable short-circuit protection for large motors and high-power motor circuits in demanding industrial environments. As part of the Mersen NH aM 690 V fuse-link series, it combines outstanding current-limiting performance with robust construction for critical motor protection applications.
Featuring an aM operating characteristic, this fuse-link is specifically designed to withstand the high inrush currents associated with motor starting whilst rapidly interrupting damaging short-circuit currents. Because an aM fuse provides partial-range protection, it should always be coordinated with an appropriate overload relay or motor protection device for complete motor protection.
With a rated current of 400 A, a rated voltage of 690 V AC, a 120 kA breaking capacity and a top indicator with live gripping lugs, the NH4AM69V400-8 is ideal for heavy industrial motor starters, motor control centres, switchgear assemblies and OEM electrical equipment.
