Why Choose the Mersen FR10AM69V6 Cylindrical Fuse-Link?
The Mersen FR10AM69V6 is a compact aM cylindrical fuse-link designed to provide dependable short-circuit protection for motors, motor starters and associated industrial electrical equipment. Part of the established Mersen FR10AM series, it combines effective current limitation with a durable 10 × 38 mm ceramic body.
As an aM partial-range fuse-link, the FR10AM69V6 is designed to tolerate the temporary inrush currents generated during motor starting while rapidly interrupting dangerous short-circuit currents. It should be coordinated with a suitable overload relay or motor protection device to provide complete motor circuit protection.
Rated at 6 A and 690 V AC, the FR10AM69V6 offers a high 120 kA AC breaking capacity. Its compact ferrule construction makes it suitable for compatible cylindrical fuse holders installed in control panels, motor control centres, switchgear and industrial machinery.
Key Advantages
- Dependable short-circuit protection for industrial motor circuits.
- 6 A rated current for low-current motor applications.
- 690 V AC IEC rating for demanding industrial systems.
- 120 kA breaking capacity for effective interruption of severe fault currents.
- Current-limiting performance helps reduce damage to downstream components.
- Compact 10 × 38 mm format saves space inside control panels.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for Motor Circuits
The Mersen FR10AM69V6 protects motor circuits by limiting and interrupting severe short-circuit currents before they can cause significant damage to contactors, motor starters, conductors and associated switchgear. Its aM operating characteristic allows normal motor starting currents to pass without unnecessary fuse operation.
During an electrical fault, the fuse-link limits the peak current and thermal energy transferred to downstream equipment. This helps reduce mechanical and thermal stress, improve installation safety and support reliable operation in industrial motor control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor starter circuits.
- Motor control centres and switchgear.
- Pumps, fans and compressor systems.
- Manufacturing and processing machinery.
- Automation and control panels.
- OEM equipment and machine-building applications.
