Why Choose the Mersen ATQ2-8/10 Time-Delay Fuse?
The Mersen ATQ2-8/10 is a robust 2.8 A time-delay midget fuse designed to provide dependable supplementary overcurrent protection for industrial control circuits and electrical equipment. As part of the trusted Mersen Amp-Trap® ATQ series, it is ideally suited to applications that experience temporary inrush currents, including transformers, motors, relays and solenoids.
Its time-delay characteristic enables the fuse to withstand brief start-up current surges without nuisance operation while providing reliable protection against sustained overloads and short-circuit faults. This helps maximise equipment availability and minimise unnecessary maintenance interruptions.
With a rated current of 2.8 A, a voltage rating of 500 V AC and a standard 10 × 38 mm midget fuse design, the ATQ2-8/10 installs easily into compatible fuse holders used throughout industrial control panels and automation systems.
