Overview

The Mersen R218193 is a cylindrical fuse-link, specifically an aM type, designed for industrial electrical protection. Manufactured by Mersen (France), this fuse-link features an 8x32mm size and operates at 400VAC with a rated current of 2A. It offers a breaking capacity of 20kA. The construction includes a ceramic body and silver-plated contacts for reliable performance. As a partial-range fuse (aM), it is engineered to protect equipment from high short-circuit currents by interrupting currents exceeding 6.3 times its rated current (In). This makes it suitable for applications such as motor circuit protection and installation switchgear, providing significant current limitation and low thermal stress. It is compatible with IEC cylindrical fuse holders. SKU: R218193.
