Why Choose the Mersen ATM15 Fast-Acting Fuse?
The Mersen ATM15 is a compact and reliable fast-acting midget fuse designed to provide supplementary overcurrent protection for industrial control circuits, instrumentation, power supplies and electrical equipment. As part of the established Mersen Amp-Trap ATM series, it responds rapidly to overloads and short circuits, helping protect conductors and connected components from damaging fault currents.
With a rated current of 15 A and voltage ratings of up to 600 V AC and 600 V DC, the ATM15 is suitable for demanding industrial and commercial electrical installations. Its fast-acting operating characteristic makes it particularly useful in circuits that require prompt fault clearance and do not experience prolonged motor or transformer inrush currents.
Manufactured in the standard 10 × 38 mm midget fuse format, the ATM15 supports space-efficient installation in compatible fuse holders and fuse blocks. Its current-limiting construction and high interrupting capacity make it a practical solution for panel builders, OEM manufacturers, automation engineers and industrial maintenance professionals.

Fast Protection for Industrial Electrical Circuits
Fast-acting fuses such as the Mersen ATM15 are designed to interrupt excessive current rapidly. This helps protect electrical equipment and conductors before prolonged overloads or short-circuit currents can produce damaging heat and mechanical stress.
The ATM15 also provides current-limiting performance, helping restrict the peak current and energy allowed to pass during a fault. This supports safer operation, reduces potential equipment damage and improves the reliability of industrial control and distribution systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and auxiliary circuits.
- Instrumentation and measurement equipment.
- Power supplies and electrical control equipment.
- Automation and OEM machinery.
- Lighting and heating control circuits.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
