Description
The Eaton Bussmann 160NHG00B is a 160A NH size 00 low-voltage DIN-type dual fuse link conforming to class gL-gG classification as defined by IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269. Engineered for dependable full-range overcurrent and short-circuit protection, this fuse link combines a robust dual fuse element design with high breaking capacity, making it a trusted choice for demanding electrical protection requirements in low-voltage power distribution systems.
The 160NHG00B is widely specified in low-voltage switchgear assemblies, main and sub-distribution boards, motor control centres (MCCs), motor feeder circuits, transformer secondary protection, and cable feeder protection in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects. Its 160A current rating and NH00 blade contact form factor make it directly interchangeable in standard DIN-type NH fuse bases and switch-fuse disconnectors sized for NH size 00 links.
Technically, the 160NHG00B features a DIN-standard NH form factor with precision blade contacts that ensure consistent, low-resistance contact in fuse holders and switch-disconnectors. The dual fuse element construction provides controlled and predictable fusing characteristics across the full overcurrent range, from sustained overloads to high prospective short-circuit currents. Compliance with both IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269 guarantees internationally recognised performance benchmarks including defined time-current characteristics, high breaking capacity, and lot-to-lot consistency critical for protection coordination in complex distribution networks.
Eaton Bussmann is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of circuit protection products, with decades of engineering heritage and a global presence trusted by OEMs, panel builders, electrical contractors, and plant engineers alike. Eaton Bussmann fuse links are manufactured under strict quality management systems, delivering consistent performance, long service life, and full compliance with international standards. Their NH fuse range is a benchmark product line used across Europe, Asia, and global export markets wherever DIN-standard LV protection is specified.

What does NH size 00 mean in fuse 160NHG00B?
NH size 00 refers to the standardised physical dimension classification of the DIN-type NH fuse link. The size 00 designation defines the blade contact dimensions, overall body length, and the current rating range the fuse can safely handle. It ensures mechanical interchangeability with all NH size 00 compatible fuse bases, switch-fuse disconnectors, and fuse switch disconnectors from any manufacturer conforming to IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269.
What does class gL-gG mean for the 160NHG00B?
Class gL-gG is a general-purpose fuse utilisation category defined under IEC 60269. The prefix g indicates a full-range fuse capable of interrupting currents from the minimum fusing current up to the maximum rated breaking capacity. The designators L and G refer to the protection of cables and conductors (L) and general electrical loads (G) respectively. A gL-gG fuse provides reliable protection against both sustained overloads and short-circuit faults across the complete current range.
What are the typical applications for the 160NHG00B?
The Eaton Bussmann 160NHG00B 160A NH00 fuse link is used in low-voltage switchgear panels, main and sub-distribution boards, motor control centres, motor feeder circuits, transformer secondary protection, and cable feeder protection in industrial manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings, data centres, and infrastructure projects. It is suitable for use wherever a DIN-type NH size 00 fuse link rated 160A class gL-gG is specified.
Is the 160NHG00B compatible with standard NH00 fuse holders?
Yes. The 160NHG00B conforms to the NH size 00 DIN standard blade contact dimensions defined in IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269, making it mechanically and electrically compatible with any standard NH size 00 fuse base, fuse switch disconnector, or switch-fuse disconnector from Eaton or other manufacturers that accept NH00 fuse links.
