Why Choose the Mersen ATM1 Fast-Acting Fuse?
The Mersen ATM1 is a compact and dependable fast-acting midget fuse designed to protect industrial control circuits, instrumentation, lighting systems and other electrical equipment against damaging overcurrents and short circuits. As part of the Mersen Amp-Trap ATM series, it provides rapid fault interruption for applications where sensitive components require prompt protection.
With a rated current of 1 A and a voltage rating of up to 600 V AC/DC, the ATM1 is suitable for a broad range of industrial and commercial electrical installations. Its fast-acting operating characteristic responds quickly to excessive current, helping reduce thermal stress and potential damage to conductors, control devices and connected equipment.
The ATM1 features a compact 10 × 38 mm cylindrical format for space-efficient installation in compatible midget fuse holders and fuse blocks. Its robust construction and current-limiting performance make it a practical choice for panel builders, automation engineers and maintenance professionals requiring reliable low-current circuit protection.

Fast-Acting Protection for Sensitive Electrical Equipment
Fast-acting fuses such as the Mersen ATM1 respond rapidly when current exceeds the permitted level. This makes them particularly suitable for circuits containing sensitive components that may be damaged by prolonged overloads or high short-circuit currents.
The fuse’s current-limiting action helps restrict the peak fault current and the amount of energy passed through to connected equipment. This can reduce thermal and mechanical stress while supporting safer and more reliable operation of industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and auxiliary circuits.
- Instrumentation and measurement equipment.
- Lighting and control systems.
- Power supplies and electronic equipment.
- Automation and OEM machinery.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
