Why Choose the Mersen ATQ7 Time-Delay Fuse?
The Mersen ATQ7 is a compact and dependable time-delay midget cartridge fuse designed to provide supplemental overcurrent protection for industrial control circuits and electrical equipment. As part of the established Mersen ATQ series, it is designed to tolerate temporary inrush currents while protecting connected components against sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions.
Rated at 7 A and up to 500 V AC, the ATQ7 is suitable for control transformers, solenoids, relays, lighting circuits and other inductive electrical loads. Its time-delay operating characteristic helps reduce unnecessary fuse operation when compatible equipment is energised while maintaining dependable protection during genuine electrical faults.
The fuse uses a standard 10 × 38 mm midget cartridge format with ferrule terminals, enabling straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders, fuse blocks and disconnect devices. Its space-saving design and reliable performance make it a practical choice for industrial machinery, automation panels and commercial electrical systems.
