Why Choose the Mersen FR10AM25V25P Cylindrical Fuse Link?
The Mersen FR10AM25V25P is a compact 10 × 38 mm cylindrical aM fuse link designed to provide reliable short-circuit protection for motors, contactors and industrial electrical equipment. Identified by Mersen item number A076038, this fuse link has a rated current of 25 A and an IEC rated voltage of 250 V AC.
As an aM utilisation category fuse, the FR10AM25V25P is specifically intended for motor circuit protection. It provides partial-range protection against high short-circuit currents while allowing the temporary inrush currents associated with motor starting. Suitable overload protection should therefore be provided by a correctly selected motor protection device or overload relay.
The fuse link includes an integrated striker mechanism that can operate a compatible auxiliary contact or indication device when the fuse has operated. Its ceramic body and silver-plated contacts support dependable electrical performance, effective current limitation and reliable operation in demanding industrial control and distribution applications.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for Motor Circuits
Motor circuits can experience high starting currents during normal operation. The aM operating characteristic allows the Mersen FR10AM25V25P to tolerate these temporary current peaks while providing rapid protection against destructive short-circuit currents.
Because an aM fuse provides partial-range protection, it should be coordinated with a suitable overload relay, motor protection circuit breaker or other overload protection device. This coordinated approach helps protect motors, cables, contactors and associated control equipment against both overload and short-circuit conditions.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor circuits and motor starters.
- Contactors and motor control assemblies.
- Control panels and machine control systems.
- Pumps, fans and conveyor systems.
- Industrial distribution and switching equipment.
- OEM machinery and automation installations.
