The Gould NRN40 is a 40A, 250V, Class H one-time fuse with a 10kA interrupting rating, built to the standard Class H cartridge fuse dimensions (ferrule/knife-blade as appropriate for the 40A size). It is compatible with Class H and Class K fuse holders and disconnects rated for 250V cartridge fuses — commonly found in older fusible disconnects, safety switches, and panelboard fuse blocks across Canadian industrial and commercial installations.

The NRN40 is a one-time (non-renewable) fuse — once it blows due to an overcurrent or fault, the entire fuse must be replaced. A renewable fuse, by contrast, allows you to replace just the internal fuse element. The NRN series is generally preferred where reliability and tamper-resistance are priorities, and it is still widely used in legacy industrial and commercial equipment across Canada.
Class H holders accept Class H, K, and some RK fuses of the same voltage and ampere rating, since they share the same physical dimensions. However, Class K and RK fuses offer higher interrupting ratings, which can be a worthwhile upgrade if your system fault current exceeds the NRN40's 10kA rating. Always verify that the replacement fuse's voltage and ampere ratings match your application and that the holder is rated accordingly.
