Application

This NH fuse is ideal for use in industrial distribution boards, switchgear, fuse-disconnectors, and for protecting transformers and other critical electrical infrastructure against short-circuits and overloads.

Country of Origin

This product is manufactured in France.

CO2 Impact

Choosing this reused Ferraz Shawmut fuse prevents the emission of approximately 6.0 kg of CO2 compared to manufacturing a new one. This saving is equivalent to the CO2 absorbed by a mature tree over a year.

FAQ

What does the ‘gG’ characteristic mean for this fuse?

The ‘gG’ designation indicates a general-purpose fuse link for full-range breaking capacity. It is designed to protect cables and lines against both overload and short-circuit currents, making it widely applicable in industrial settings. This contrasts with ‘aM’ fuses, which are designed specifically for motor protection (short-circuit only).

What is the breaking capacity of this T00 fuse?

Standard NH fuses of this type typically have a very high breaking capacity to safely interrupt large fault currents. For a 500V AC rating, the breaking capacity is usually 120 kA, which ensures safety even in systems with high prospective short-circuit currents.

Can I replace a 500V fuse with a 690V fuse of the same amperage?

Yes, it is generally safe to use a fuse with a higher voltage rating than the system voltage, provided the physical size (NH00) and amperage (100A) are correct for the application. However, you must never replace a fuse with one that has a lower voltage rating, as it may not be able to safely extinguish the arc during a fault.
