Why Choose the Mersen FR14AM69V16 Cylindrical Fuse-Link?
The Mersen FR14AM69V16 is a high-performance aM cylindrical fuse-link engineered to provide reliable short-circuit protection for motors, motor starters and associated industrial electrical equipment. As part of the trusted Mersen 14 × 51 mm ferrule fuse range, it is specifically designed for motor circuits operating on systems up to 690 V AC.
Its aM partial-range operating characteristic allows the fuse-link to withstand the temporary inrush currents produced during motor starting while rapidly disconnecting dangerous short-circuit faults. When used alongside a suitable thermal overload relay or electronic motor protection device, it provides comprehensive protection for industrial motor circuits.
With a 16 A current rating, a standard 14 × 51 mm cylindrical format and a high 120 kA breaking capacity, the FR14AM69V16 is ideal for motor control centres, industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems where dependable fault protection is essential.
