HRC FUSE 16A NSD16

Product Description

The NSD16 is a high rupturing capacity (HRC) fuse used for reliable protection of electrical circuits against short-circuit and overload conditions in medium-duty industrial and commercial power systems. It is commonly used in motor circuits, distribution boards, and transformer protection systems where high fault levels are expected.

This fuse is built to BS88 / IEC standards and provides fast fault interruption while safely limiting let-through energy, protecting downstream equipment from damage during fault conditions.
