Description
The Eaton Bussmann 160NHG01B is a 160A NH size 01 Low-Voltage DIN-Type Dual Fuse Link classified as gL-gG under IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269. Designed for general-purpose full-range overcurrent protection, the 160NHG01B provides dependable protection for both cables and connected loads in low-voltage electrical systems operating up to the rated voltage levels defined by the IEC standard. Its NH size 01 form factor ensures compatibility with standard DIN-type NH fuse bases and switch-disconnectors widely used across industrial switchgear platforms.
The 160NHG01B is suitable for a broad range of low-voltage applications including LV 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 makes it ideal for medium-load branch circuits and feeder protection duties where reliable and selective overcurrent protection is critical to system continuity.
As a DIN-type NH dual fuse link, the 160NHG01B incorporates a dual fuse element design that enhances current-limiting performance and arc-quenching reliability under fault conditions. It delivers high breaking capacity in a compact NH01 body, minimising let-through energy during short-circuit events and protecting downstream equipment from damage. Compliance with both IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269 ensures the product meets internationally recognised performance, safety, and dimensional standards, making it suitable for use in globally specified projects and CE-marked panel assemblies.

What does NH size 01 mean in fuse 160NHG01B?
NH size 01 refers to the standardised physical dimension class of the DIN-type NH fuse link as defined under IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269. Size 01 specifies the blade contact dimensions, overall body length, and the current rating range the fuse can safely accommodate. The NH01 size of the 160NHG01B ensures direct dimensional compatibility with NH01-rated fuse bases, switch-disconnectors, and fuse carriers used in standard LV switchgear and distribution equipment.
What does class gL-gG mean for the 160NHG01B?
Class gL-gG is a general-purpose fuse utilisation category defined in IEC 60269. The prefix g indicates that the fuse provides full-range overcurrent protection, meaning it can interrupt currents from its minimum fusing current up to its rated breaking capacity. The gL designation covers line protection for cables and conductors, while gG covers general application protection including motors, transformers, and mixed loads. The 160NHG01B with gL-gG classification is therefore suitable for protecting both cables and general electrical loads in low-voltage installations.
What are the typical applications for the 160NHG01B?
The Eaton Bussmann 160NHG01B 160A NH01 dual fuse link is commonly used in low-voltage main and sub-distribution boards, LV switchgear panels, motor control centres, motor feeder circuits, cable feeder protection, and transformer secondary protection in industrial manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, data centres, and infrastructure projects. Its 160A rating and NH01 form factor suit medium-load branch circuit and feeder protection applications.
Is the 160NHG01B compliant with IEC and DIN standards?
Yes, the Eaton Bussmann 160NHG01B fully complies with IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269, the internationally recognised standards for low-voltage fuses. This compliance ensures the product meets defined requirements for rated current, voltage, breaking capacity, power dissipation, and dimensional interchangeability, making it suitable for use in internationally specified projects and CE-marked electrical assemblies.
