Why Choose the Mersen ATQ3-2/10 Time-Delay Fuse?
The Mersen ATQ3-2/10 is a compact and dependable time-delay cartridge fuse designed to protect electrical control circuits, transformers, solenoids and other equipment that may experience temporary inrush currents during normal operation. Part of the established Mersen ATQ series, this fuse combines reliable overcurrent protection with a time-delay characteristic that helps prevent unnecessary operation during short-duration current surges.
With a rated current of 3.2 A and a maximum voltage rating of 500 V AC, the ATQ3-2/10 is suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial electrical applications. Its time-delay performance allows compatible equipment to start normally while still providing protection against sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions.
The fuse uses a standard 10 × 38 mm midget cartridge format, enabling straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders, blocks and disconnect devices. Its compact dimensions, robust construction and dependable operating characteristics make it a practical replacement fuse for control panels, machinery and power distribution equipment.
