Description
The Eaton Bussmann 160NHG0B is a 160A rated, NH size 0, low-voltage DIN-type dual fuse link conforming to class gL-gG under IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269 standards. Designed for full-range overcurrent and short-circuit protection, this fuse link combines robust construction with a dual fuse element configuration to ensure consistent and reliable performance in demanding low-voltage power distribution environments. Its NH size 0 blade contact format ensures dimensional interchangeability with standard NH0 fuse bases and switch-disconnectors across major switchgear platforms.
The 160NHG0B is widely deployed in low-voltage switchgear assemblies, main and sub-distribution boards, motor control centres (MCCs), cable feeder circuits, and busbar protection applications in industrial plants, commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, and utility substations. Its 160A current rating makes it particularly suitable for protecting outgoing feeder circuits, transformer secondaries, and motor branch circuits where reliable overcurrent interruption is critical to system uptime and personnel safety.
As a DIN-type NH fuse link, the 160NHG0B features a high breaking capacity to safely interrupt fault currents in low-voltage networks up to 500V AC. The dual fuse element design provides enhanced arc quenching performance and improved current-limiting characteristics, minimising let-through energy during fault conditions and protecting downstream equipment from thermal and electromagnetic stress. Full compliance with IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269 ensures the product meets internationally recognised safety and performance benchmarks for LV fuse links.

What does NH size 0 mean in fuse 160NHG0B?
NH size 0 refers to the standardised physical dimension of the DIN-type fuse link as defined under DIN EN 60269. The size 0 designation determines the blade contact dimensions, mounting footprint, and the current rating range the fuse can safely handle, ensuring interchangeability with all NH0-compatible fuse bases, holders, and switch-disconnectors from major switchgear manufacturers.
What does class gL-gG mean for the 160NHG0B?
Class gL-gG is a general purpose utilisation category defined by IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269. The “g” prefix indicates full-range breaking capacity, meaning the fuse can interrupt all overcurrents from the minimum fusing current up to the maximum rated breaking capacity. The gL-gG class provides protection for both cables and general loads including motors, transformers, and distribution circuits in low-voltage installations.
What are the typical applications for the 160NHG0B?
The Eaton Bussmann 160NHG0B 160A NH0 fuse link is used in low-voltage switchgear panels, main and sub-distribution boards, motor control centres, transformer secondary protection, cable feeder circuits, and busbar protection in industrial plants, commercial buildings, data centres, and infrastructure projects.
What is the breaking capacity of the 160NHG0B?
The 160NHG0B is a high breaking capacity DIN-type NH fuse link compliant with IEC 60269 and DIN EN 60269. For precise breaking capacity values, voltage ratings, and time-current characteristics, please refer to the official Eaton Bussmann product datasheet or contact Shansen Enterprises in Coimbatore for technical documentation.
