Why Choose the Mersen ATQ8/10 Time-Delay Fuse?
The Mersen ATQ8/10 is a compact time-delay midget cartridge fuse designed to provide dependable supplemental overcurrent protection for industrial control circuits and electrical equipment. As part of the proven Mersen Amp-Trap ATQ series, it is engineered to withstand temporary inrush currents while protecting connected equipment against sustained overloads and short-circuit faults.
With a rated current of 0.8 A and a maximum voltage rating of 500 V AC, the ATQ8/10 is ideal for protecting sensitive control transformers, relays, solenoids, instrumentation and low-current industrial control circuits. Its time-delay characteristic helps reduce nuisance fuse operation during equipment energisation while maintaining dependable protection against genuine electrical faults.
Manufactured in the standard 10 × 38 mm midget cartridge format with ferrule terminals, the ATQ8/10 fits compatible fuse holders and disconnect switches with ease. Its compact construction makes it an excellent choice for industrial control panels, OEM machinery and commercial electrical installations requiring reliable supplemental circuit protection.
