Why Choose the Mersen A3T40 Class T Fuse?

The Mersen A3T40 is a compact and highly reliable Class T fast-acting fuse designed to provide superior overcurrent and short-circuit protection for industrial and commercial electrical systems. As part of the trusted Mersen Amp-Trap® A3T series, it delivers exceptional current-limiting performance while maintaining a compact footprint, making it ideal for installations where both protection and space efficiency are essential.

Designed to interrupt fault currents rapidly, the A3T40 helps minimise damage to switchgear, conductors and connected equipment by significantly reducing thermal and mechanical stress during fault conditions. Its unique Class T dimensions prevent replacement with lower-performance fuse types, helping maintain electrical safety and compliance.

With a rated current of 40 A, a 300 V AC / 160 V DC voltage rating and a fast-acting characteristic, the Mersen A3T40 is ideal for protecting load centres, panelboards, switchboards, circuit breakers, metering centres and industrial control equipment.
