Mersen ATQ15 Midget Time-Delay Fuse, 15A 500V AC, 10x38mm, Ferrule - Pack of 10

Mersen ATQ15 Midget Time-Delay Fuse, 15A 500V AC, 10x38mm, Ferrule (Pack of 10)

The Mersen ATQ15 is a robust 15-amp, 500V AC midget (10x38mm) time-delay fuse from the acclaimed Amp-Trap® ATQ series, specifically engineered for supplemental overcurrent protection in industrial and commercial electrical systems. Its crucial time-delay characteristic allows it to tolerate temporary, harmless inrush currents associated with starting small motors, energizing control transformers, and activating solenoids, thereby preventing disruptive nuisance tripping.

It is critical to note that the ATQ15 provides supplemental protection for circuits where the available short-circuit current does not exceed 10,000A (10kA AC), and it is explicitly NOT designed for branch circuit protection. Featuring a compact 10.3mm diameter and 38.1mm length with tin-plated copper ferrule terminals, this fuse is ideal for installations requiring efficient use of space. Manufactured by Mersen, a global leader in electrical protection, the ATQ15 ensures reliable performance and enhanced safety for your equipment. This convenient pack of ten fuses facilitates efficient stocking and readily available replacements for continuous operational integrity.

Key Features:

• Time-Delay (Slow-Blow) Characteristic: Engineered to withstand temporary inrush currents of inductive loads, preventing premature opening and ensuring operational continuity.
• Voltage Rating: Specifically rated for 500V AC, suitable for a range of AC control and protection applications.
• Supplemental Protection: Designed for supplemental protection against overcurrents; not for branch circuit use.
• Moderate Interrupting Rating: 10 kA AC breaking capacity, effective for circuits where available fault currents are within this limit.
• Compact Midget Dimensions: Standard 10.3mm x 38.1mm (13/32" x 1-1/2") size with ferrule ends, optimizing space efficiency.
• UL Listed: Complies with recognized North American safety and performance standards for supplemental fuses (typically UL 248-14).
• ROHS Compliant: Adheres to environmental standards regarding hazardous substance content.
• Durable Construction: Utilizes GMG (typically Melamine) for the body/insulating material and tin-plated copper terminals for reliable electrical contact.
• Clip Mounting: Designed for secure installation in appropriate fuse clips.
• Trusted Mersen Quality: From a renowned manufacturer in electrical protection, ensuring product reliability and performance.
• Cost-Effective Pack of 10: Conveniently bundled for ease of purchasing, installation, and maintenance.
