Why Choose the Mersen ATQ1-8/10 Time-Delay Fuse?
The Mersen ATQ1-8/10 is a dependable 1.8 A time-delay midget fuse designed to provide supplementary overcurrent protection for industrial control circuits and electrical equipment. As part of the established Mersen Amp-Trap® ATQ series, it is particularly suitable for applications that experience temporary inrush currents during normal start-up and operation.
Its time-delay operating characteristic allows the fuse to withstand brief current surges from transformers, relays, solenoids and other inductive components without unnecessary fuse operation. During sustained overloads or short-circuit conditions, the ATQ1-8/10 interrupts the circuit to help protect wiring and connected equipment against electrical damage.
With a rated current of 1.8 A and a voltage rating of up to 500 V AC, the ATQ1-8/10 is ideal for industrial machinery, automation systems and commercial electrical equipment. Its standard 10 × 38 mm midget format enables straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders and control panels.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Control Equipment
Time-delay fuses such as the Mersen ATQ1-8/10 are designed to distinguish between temporary start-up surges and sustained overcurrent conditions. This makes the fuse particularly effective in circuits containing inductive devices that may briefly draw more than their normal operating current when energised.
The compact midget fuse format allows the ATQ1-8/10 to be incorporated easily into industrial control cabinets, machinery panels and automation systems. Correctly selected fuse protection helps reduce equipment damage, improve operational reliability and simplify electrical maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and machinery.
- Control transformers and power supplies.
- Relays, contactors and solenoid circuits.
- Lighting and heating control equipment.
- Instrumentation and automation systems.
- Commercial and industrial electrical equipment.
