Why Choose the Mersen FR10AM25V32P Cylindrical Fuse Link?
The Mersen FR10AM25V32P is a compact 10 × 38 mm cylindrical aM fuse link designed to provide reliable short-circuit protection for motors, contactors and industrial electrical equipment. Rated at 32 A and 250 V AC according to IEC requirements, it is suitable for motor control circuits where dependable current limitation is required.
As an aM utilisation category fuse, the FR10AM25V32P provides partial-range protection against high short-circuit currents while accommodating the temporary inrush currents associated with motor starting. It should be coordinated with a correctly selected overload relay, motor protection circuit breaker or equivalent device to provide complete protection against overload and short-circuit conditions.
The fuse link incorporates an integrated striker mechanism that can operate a compatible auxiliary contact or signalling accessory when the fuse operates. Its ceramic body, silver-plated contacts and compact cylindrical format make it suitable for industrial control panels, motor starters and OEM machinery.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for Motor Circuits
Electric motors can draw several times their normal operating current during start-up. The aM operating characteristic allows the Mersen FR10AM25V32P to tolerate these temporary starting currents while responding rapidly to destructive short-circuit faults.
Because the FR10AM25V32P is a partial-range fuse, it must be used with an appropriate overload protection device. Coordinating the fuse with an overload relay or motor protection circuit breaker helps safeguard motors, cables, contactors and associated control equipment against both overloads and short circuits.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor starters.
- Motor control centres and control panels.
- Contactors and overload relay assemblies.
- Pumps, fans and conveyor systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- OEM motor control installations.
