Bussmann 100NHM00 NH Fuse, Class aM, 690V

The Bussmann 100NHM00 is an Eaton Bussmann series low voltage NH-style fuse engineered for industrial power distribution and switchgear protection. Rated 690V with a 120 kAIC interrupting capacity, this Class aM fuse is built to protect motor circuits and switchgear from short-circuit and overload conditions. It features a combination fuse status indicator for fast visual confirmation of fuse condition, and this fuse platform is available in amp ratings from 16A to 100A to match a range of industrial circuit-protection requirements.

Key Features

  • Voltage Rating: 690V rated construction suited for low-voltage industrial power distribution systems.
  • Interrupting Capacity: 120 kAIC short-circuit rating delivers high interrupting performance for demanding industrial fault conditions.
  • Utilization Category: Class aM (switchgear protection) design, intended for motor circuit and switchgear protection applications.
  • Status Indicator: Combination fuse status indicator allows quick visual verification of fuse condition without de-energizing the circuit.

Bussmann 100NHM00B-690 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does Class aM mean on a Bussmann NH fuse, and can I use it for general overload protection?
Class aM is a partial-range motor circuit protection rating, listed here as aM (switchgear protection). It is built to clear short circuits in motor and switchgear circuits, not to handle general overload duty on its own. On a motor starter it is paired with an overload relay that handles the thermal overload side. If you need a fuse that protects across the full range including overload, aM is the wrong utilization category for the job.
2) Will a 690V NH fuse work on my 480V industrial system?
Yes. The 690V AC rating on the Bussmann NH aM fuse is a maximum, so applying it at 480V or 400V is fine. Fuse voltage ratings must be equal to or greater than the circuit voltage, never less. It is AC rated, so do not apply it to a DC bus.
3) Is this an NH00 size fuse, and will it fit my existing fuse base?
The Bussmann NHM00 690V fuse is an NH size 00 body, which is what the 00 in the part number designates. NH sizes are a standardized IEC form factor, so a size 00 fuse drops into a size 00 fuse base, switch-disconnector, or fuse carrier. It will not fit an NH size 0, 1, 2 or 3 holder. Check the size marking stamped on your existing base before ordering.
4) What amp ratings does the Bussmann NHM00 690V fuse come in?
Four ratings are offered on this NH aM platform: 16A (16NHM000B-690), 20A (20NHM000B-690), 25A (25NHM000B-690), and 100A (100NHM00B-690). The overall published amperage range for the family is 16A to 100A. Match the rating to the motor circuit's short-circuit protection requirement, not to the running current alone, since aM fuses are sized above full load current.
5) Can I tell if this NH fuse has blown without shutting down the panel?
Yes. It has a combination fuse status indicator, so a blown element shows visually on the fuse body. You can confirm condition on an energized circuit without pulling the fuse carrier or de-energizing to test continuity, which is the practical reason maintenance crews spec the indicating version.
6) Does this Bussmann NH fuse have insulated gripping lugs for live fuse changes?
No. The insulated metal gripping lugs (IMGL) option is not present on this NH aM fuse, so the blade tags are bare. Use a properly rated NH fuse puller and appropriate PPE when changing them, and follow your site's de-energization procedure.
7) Where are Class aM NH fuses typically used in a plant?
Industrial power distribution is the stated application: switchgear and motor circuit protection, combination motor starters, and panelboard or switchboard feeders in industrial and commercial facilities. They are an IEC-style fuse, so you will see them in European-built machinery and imported switchgear far more often than in North American UL panels, which typically use Class J, RK5 or CC fuses instead.
8) Does this fuse meet RoHS for our facility procurement requirements?
RoHS compliant is the stated standard on this Bussmann NH aM fuse, which covers restricted hazardous substances for facilities and OEM panel builders that require it on their bill of materials.
