Eaton MEN15 Time-delay Midget Fuse 15A 250V

Product Description

The EATON MEN15 is a time-delay midget fuse rated at 15 amps and 250 volts, designed for supplemental overcurrent protection in compact electrical and 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 high inrush currents typical of small motors, transformers, solenoids, and similar loads without nuisance opening, while still protecting downstream components from sustained fault conditions. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fuse type.

The MEN15 is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial control panels where supplemental protection is required for small motors, transformers, solenoids, and other high inrush power electronic circuits. It is commonly installed in fuse holders and blocks within equipment control circuits, secondary transformer circuits, and branch circuit panels where a midget form factor is specified. Its 10 kAIC interrupting rating at 125 Vac makes it appropriate for low-impedance supply circuits within that voltage range.

Key Features

• Time-delay (dual-element) design tolerates high inrush currents from motors, transformers, and solenoids
• 15 amp continuous current rating at 250 volts AC
• 10 kAIC interrupting rating at 125 Vac for reliable fault clearing
• Non-indicating construction in standard midget form factor
• Fiber tube body provides durable, compact housing
• Supplemental protection rating suitable for use within equipment and control circuits

Compatibility

Designed as a supplemental-protection time-delay midget fuse for use in standard midget fuse holders and blocks rated for 250 volts and 15 amps or greater in control and power electronic circuit applications.

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 or installing this fuse. Verify that the fuse holder is rated for at least 250 volts and 15 amps before installing. This fuse carries a supplemental protection rating and is not intended as a branch-circuit overcurrent protective device unless the equipment listing specifically permits it.
