Why Choose the Mersen ATQ1-1/4 Time-Delay Midget Fuse?
The Mersen ATQ1-1/4 is a high-performance time-delay midget fuse designed to provide dependable supplementary overcurrent protection for industrial control circuits, transformers, solenoids, motors and other electrical equipment. As part of the trusted Mersen Amp-Trap® ATQ series, it is engineered to withstand normal temporary inrush currents while providing reliable protection against sustained overloads and short circuit conditions.
Its time-delay characteristic helps minimise nuisance fuse operation during transformer energisation and motor starting, improving equipment uptime and reducing unnecessary maintenance. The compact 10 × 38 mm midget design allows straightforward installation into compatible fuse holders where panel space is limited.
With a rated current of 1.25 A, a 500 V AC voltage rating and a 10 kA AC interrupting rating, the Mersen ATQ1-1/4 is an excellent choice for supplementary protection where the available short-circuit current does not exceed 10,000 A. It is intended for supplementary protection only and is not suitable for branch circuit protection.
