Why Choose the ABB E9F8AM6 Cylindrical Fuse?
The ABB E9F8AM6 is a compact 6 A aM cylindrical fuse link designed primarily for short-circuit protection in motor circuits. Identified by ABB as the E 9F8 AM6 with order code 2CSM257563R1801, it forms part of the ABB E 9F range of cylindrical fuse links for industrial circuit protection.
The fuse uses the compact 8.5 × 31.5 mm cylindrical format and features an aM utilisation category. This partial-range fuse characteristic is particularly suited to motor applications because it tolerates the temporary high inrush currents associated with starting while providing protection against short-circuit faults.
With a rated current of 6 A, the E9F8AM6 provides a compact protection solution for appropriately coordinated motor circuits. Its standard cylindrical construction enables installation in compatible 8.5 × 31.5 mm fuseholders used in industrial machinery, control panels and motor-control equipment.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed aM fuse for motor short-circuit protection.
- 6 A rated current for appropriately coordinated motor circuits.
- Delayed operating characteristic accommodates motor-starting inrush currents.
- Compact 8.5 × 31.5 mm cylindrical format.
- Suitable for industrial machinery and motor-control equipment.
- ABB E 9F construction for dependable industrial circuit protection.
Key Features
- ABB E 9F8 cylindrical fuse range.
- 6 A rated current.
- aM utilisation category.
- 8.5 × 31.5 mm cylindrical fuse format.

- Provides short-circuit protection when correctly coordinated.
- Suitable for compatible cylindrical fuseholders.
aM Protection for Motor Circuits
aM fuse links are partial-range fuses developed for motor circuits, where temporary starting currents can be substantially higher than normal running current. Their operating characteristic allows these expected starting currents to pass while providing short-circuit protection for the circuit.
Because an aM fuse does not provide full-range overload protection, the ABB E9F8AM6 should be coordinated with suitable motor overload protection. Its 6 A rating and compact 8.5 × 31.5 mm format make it suitable for space-conscious industrial motor-control and machinery applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor circuits.
- Motor starters and control panels.
- Motor control equipment.
- Pumps, fans and small motor-driven loads.
- Industrial machinery.
- Automation and production equipment.
- OEM motor-control assemblies.
