Why Choose the Mersen ATDR8/10 Time-Delay Fuse?
The Mersen ATDR8/10 is a compact and dependable Class CC time-delay fuse designed to protect industrial control circuits, transformers, solenoids and motor branch circuits against damaging overloads and short circuits. As part of the Mersen Amp-Trap 2000 ATDR series, it combines current-limiting performance with a time-delay characteristic that accommodates temporary inrush currents without unnecessary fuse operation.
This fuse has a rated current of 0.8 A and an AC voltage rating of up to 600 V. Its high interrupting capacity enables it to safely clear substantial fault currents, while its rejection-style Class CC construction helps prevent the installation of unsuitable lower-rated fuses in compatible fuse holders.
The ATDR8/10 is particularly suitable for industrial equipment where reliable protection must be maintained during transformer energisation, motor starting or other momentary current surges. Its compact cylindrical body supports space-efficient installation inside control panels, machinery and electrical distribution equipment.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Industrial Equipment
Time-delay fuses such as the Mersen ATDR8/10 allow temporary current surges to pass while still responding to sustained overloads and short circuits. This characteristic is important in circuits containing transformers, motors, contactor coils and other inductive equipment that can draw increased current during start-up.
The ATDR series provides current-limiting protection that helps reduce the peak current and energy allowed through during a fault. This can minimise thermal and mechanical stress on conductors, control components and connected equipment while supporting improved system safety and reliability.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control circuits and control panels.
- Transformer primary and secondary circuit protection.
- Motor branch circuits and motor controllers.
- Solenoids, relays and contactor coils.
- Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment.
- Production machinery and automation systems.
