The Gould NRN25 is a 25A, 250V, Class H one-time (non-renewable) fuse with a 10kA interrupting rating, sized in a standard Class H cartridge form factor. It is compatible with fuse holders and disconnects designed for Class H or Class K cartridge fuses in the 250V, up to 30A range — including common pullout-style and knife-blade fuse holders used in residential and light commercial applications. Cross-reference replacements include equivalent Class H one-time fuses from Bussmann (NON-25), Littelfuse, and Ferraz Shawmut in the same 25A/250V/Class H rating. Contact us to confirm holder compatibility or find a suitable replacement.
A Class H one-time fuse like the NRN25 is a single-use device — once it blows, the entire fuse must be replaced. A renewable fuse uses a replaceable fuse link inside a reusable body. Both share the same Class H cartridge dimensions and holder, so they are physically interchangeable, but a one-time fuse is generally preferred for more consistent and reliable overcurrent protection. Always replace with the same amperage and voltage rating.
The Gould NRN series has been discontinued as a standalone product line following Gould's acquisition, but Northern Breaker Group specializes in sourcing obsolete and hard-to-find fuses. Direct cross-references include the Bussmann NON-25, Littelfuse NLN-25, and Ferraz Shawmut in the same 25A/250V Class H one-time rating. Contact our team and we'll help you locate stock or confirm the best available equivalent.
Class H one-time fuses like the NRN25 are general-purpose fuses and are not recommended as the primary means of motor branch-circuit protection in most applications. Motors draw high inrush currents at startup that can nuisance-blow a one-time fuse. For motor circuits, a time-delay (dual-element) fuse such as a Class RK5 or Class J time-delay type is typically specified per Canadian Electrical Code requirements. The NRN25 is best suited for protecting resistive loads, lighting circuits, and general branch-circuit applications.
