Why Choose the Mersen FR10AM40V20P Cylindrical Fuse-Link?
The Mersen FR10AM40V20P is a reliable 10 × 38 mm aM cylindrical fuse-link with striker designed to provide effective short-circuit protection for industrial motor circuits. Manufactured by Mersen for low-voltage IEC applications, it is suitable for motor starters, control panels and machinery requiring dependable protection against high fault currents.
As part of the established Mersen FR10 aM fuse-link range, this model combines a durable ceramic body with silver-plated copper contacts for reliable electrical performance and long service life. Its aM operating characteristic allows normal motor starting currents to pass while interrupting dangerous short-circuit currents that could damage motors, contactors and associated equipment.
With a rated current of 20 A, an IEC rated voltage of 380 V AC and a high 100 kA breaking capacity, the FR10AM40V20P is suitable for demanding industrial motor protection applications. The integrated striker can activate a compatible auxiliary contact or signalling mechanism when the fuse operates.
