contents The notion of nonlocal $H$-convergence is extended to domains with nontrivial topology, that is, domains with non-vanishing harmonic Dirichlet and/or Neumann fields. If the space of harmonic Dirichlet (or Neumann) fields is infinite-dimensional, there is an abundance of choice of pairwise incomparable topologies generalising the one for topologically trivial $Ω$. It will be demonstrated that if the domain satisfies the Maxwell's compactness property the corresponding natural version of the corresponding (generalised) nonlocal $H$-convergence topology has no such ambiguity. Moreover, on multiplication operators the nonlocal $H$-topology coincides with the one induced by (local) $H$-convergence introduced by Murat and Tartar. The topology is used to obtain nonlocal homogenisation results including convergence of the associated energy for electrostatics. The derived techniques prove useful to deduce a new compactness criterion relevant for nonlinear static Maxwell problems.
