MERSEN FUSE NH4A 1000KVA 400V GTR MI NH4A2GTR1000KVA

Why Choose the Mersen NH4A2GTR1000KVA Transformer Fuse-Link?

The Mersen NH4A2GTR1000KVA is a heavy-duty NH4a gTr fuse-link developed specifically for the protection of low-voltage distribution transformers. Its transformer-matched time-current characteristic provides dependable protection against overloads and short-circuit faults while accommodating the temporary magnetising inrush current produced when a transformer is energised.

Designed for transformer applications rated at approximately 1000 kVA, this fuse-link has a rated current of 1443 A and an operating voltage of 400 V AC. The gTr characteristic supports effective selectivity with downstream gG fuse-links, helping isolate faults at the correct point while reducing unnecessary interruption to the wider electrical installation.

The NH4A2GTR1000KVA combines a durable ceramic body with silver-plated copper blade contacts, live gripping lugs and a centre-mounted visual indicator. Its 100 kA AC breaking capacity provides reliable interruption of high prospective fault currents in industrial switchboards, transformer substations and commercial power distribution systems.

Reliable Protection for High-Capacity Transformers

Transformers can draw a substantial magnetising current for a short period when first energised. A conventional fuse selected only according to normal operating current may operate unnecessarily during this inrush period. The gTr characteristic of the Mersen NH4A2GTR1000KVA is specifically adapted to transformer behaviour, helping it withstand permissible temporary current peaks while still responding accurately to sustained overloads.

The fuse-link also provides high current limitation and effective coordination with downstream protection. When a significant fault occurs, its high breaking capacity allows it to safely interrupt the circuit, helping protect transformers, cables, switchgear and other valuable distribution equipment.

Typical Applications

• Protection of low-voltage transformers rated around 1000 kVA.
• Industrial transformer substations.
• Main electrical distribution switchboards.
• Manufacturing and processing facilities.
• Commercial building power distribution systems.
• Infrastructure and utility installations.
• Transformer secondary-side protection assemblies.
• High-capacity NH fuse-base installations.
