Why Choose the Mersen FR14AM50V50 Cylindrical Fuse Link?
The Mersen FR14AM50V50 is a robust 14 × 51 mm aM cylindrical fuse link designed to provide reliable short-circuit protection for motors, transformers and other industrial loads with high starting currents. As part of the established Mersen FR14 aM fuse series, it is suitable for demanding motor control and electrical distribution applications.
The aM operating characteristic is specifically intended for motor circuits. It allows normal motor starting currents to pass while rapidly interrupting dangerous short-circuit currents. As an aM fuse provides partial-range protection, it should be used alongside a correctly selected overload relay or other separate overload protection device.
With a rated current of 50 A, a rated voltage of 500 V AC and a high breaking capacity of 120 kA, the FR14AM50V50 provides dependable protection in motor starters, machinery and industrial control panels. Its compact, non-indicating design fits compatible 14 × 51 mm cylindrical fuse holders.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed aM fuse link for motor circuit protection.
- 50 A rated current for industrial motors and inductive loads.
- 500 V AC rating for low-voltage industrial systems.
- High 120 kA breaking capacity for dependable fault interruption.
- Accommodates normal motor starting and transformer inrush currents.
- Compact 14 × 51 mm cylindrical format for compatible fuse holders.

Reliable Short-Circuit Protection for Motor Circuits
The Mersen FR14AM50V50 is engineered to protect motor circuits against severe fault currents without operating during normal motor acceleration. Its time-current performance accommodates the temporary inrush current produced when motors, transformers and other inductive equipment are energised.
Because this is an aM partial-range fuse, it primarily provides short-circuit protection rather than complete overload protection. For a properly coordinated motor protection system, it should be combined with a thermal or electronic overload relay selected for the connected motor and operating conditions.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor starters.
- Motor control centres.
- Three-phase motor circuits.
- Transformer protection.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- OEM control panels and automation systems.
