Overview

The Mersen F214618 is a cylindrical fuse-link, specifically an aM type, designed for partial range protection of electrical devices against high short-circuit currents. Manufactured by Mersen, this fuse-link features a compact 10x38mm size and is rated for 500VAC with a nominal current of 16A. Its construction includes a ceramic body and silver-plated contacts, ensuring reliable performance and durability. The aM classification signifies its capability to limit high currents and minimize thermal let-through, effectively protecting motor circuit applications and switchgear from destructive overcurrents. It is designed to interrupt currents exceeding 6.3 times the nominal current up to its rated breaking capacity of 120 kA. This fuse-link is part of Mersen's extensive range of aM and gG fuse-links, available in various physical sizes and ampere ratings for 400, 500, and 690VAC applications. The F214618, with its specific ratings, is ideal for industrial distribution circuits where precise motor protection is paramount. Mersen's commitment to technology and process ensures highly reliable technical performance for this product, originating from France (FR).
