Eaton MEN10 Time-delay Midget Fuse 10A 250V

Product Description

The EATON MEN10 is a time-delay midget fuse rated at 10 amps and 250 volts, designed for supplemental protection of small motors, transformers, solenoids, and other high-inrush power electronic circuits. It features a dual-element, non-indicating construction housed in a fiber tube body. The time-delay characteristic allows it to ride through the normal inrush current associated with motor starting and transformer energization without nuisance opening, while still providing reliable overcurrent protection under sustained fault conditions. Electricians and controls technicians install this fuse in control panels, power supplies, and machine control circuits where supplemental branch-circuit or component-level protection is required.

The MEN10 is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial control applications where midget fuse holders are specified. Common installation scenarios include motor control centers, HVAC control boards, transformer secondary protection, solenoid valve circuits, and power electronic assemblies. The 10 kAIC interrupting rating at 125 volts AC makes it appropriate for supplemental protection duty in low-voltage control circuits. It fits standard midget fuse holders accepting 13/32-inch by 1-1/2-inch fuse dimensions.

Key Features

• Time-delay dual-element design tolerates motor and transformer inrush without nuisance blowing
• 10-amp continuous current rating at 250 volts
• 10 kAIC interrupting rating at 125 volts AC
• Non-indicating construction for standard midget fuse holders
• Fiber tube body for reliable arc containment
• Provides supplemental overcurrent protection for solenoids, small motors, and power electronic circuits

Compatibility

Designed as a supplemental protection replacement midget fuse for standard 13/32-inch by 1-1/2-inch midget fuse holders used in control panels, machine controls, and power electronic assemblies requiring a time-delay, non-indicating fuse at 250 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before replacing a fuse. Verify that the replacement fuse amperage and voltage ratings match the original specification before installation. Do not substitute a fast-acting fuse in applications requiring a time-delay rating, as nuisance opening under inrush conditions may result.
