Glossary of Terms - N

N-Link - Refer to Fuse Link, Type N.

NEMA - National Electrical Manufacturers Association.

Neutral - The junction point of the legs in a Wye circuit.

Neutral Grounding Resistor - A grounding device, the principal element of which is resistance, which is used to connect the neutral point of the transformer to earth.

Normal Duty - A lightning impulse classifying current category for distribution class arresters defined by ANSI/IEEE C62.11. A normal duty rated arrester has 5000 amperage impulse value crest (refer to heavy duty).

NX - Non-expulsion current-limiting fuses; CPS's full range, air-insulated, C-rated, current-limiting fuses. NX fuse is available in clip-mounted and hinged designs. The NX design utilizes an M-spot and gassing spider for low current clearing.

NXII - Non-expulsion current-limiting fuse; CPS's full range, air-insulated, current-limiting fuse. NXII fuse is available in clip-mounted and hinged designs. The NXII design utilizes a separate low current section in series with a high current section in series with a high current ribbon and non-gassing spider.

NXC - Non-expulsion Capacitor current-limiting fuse; CPS's current-limiting capacitor fuse.

NXD - Non-expulsion Dropout current-limiting fuse; CPS's dropout cutout mounted full range, current-limiting fuse.
