Bussmann MDA-3-2/10-R Time Delay Fuse

Product Description: Bussmann MDA-3-2/10-R Time Delay Fuse

Overview
The Bussmann MDA-3-2/10-R is a premium time-delay fuse engineered to protect sensitive electrical and electronic circuits from overcurrent conditions. Designed for reliability and safety, this fuse accommodates temporary inrush currents (common during motor startups or transformer energization) without nuisance tripping, while responding decisively to sustained overloads or short circuits.

Key Features

• Time-Delay Design: Allows brief current surges (up to 10x rated current) to pass without interruption, minimizing false trips during initial power-up.
• Ampere Rating: 3A (suitable for low-current control circuits).
• Voltage Rating: 250V AC/DC, ensuring broad compatibility with industrial, commercial, and consumer applications.
• “R” Rejection Feature: Unique blade design prevents accidental insertion into incompatible fuse holders, enhancing safety compliance.
• Fast-Acting Response: Clears persistent overloads and short circuits rapidly to prevent equipment damage.
• Robust Construction: Glass tube housing with sand-filled quenching media for arc suppression and visual fault inspection.
• Dimensions: Standard 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ (6.3 x 32 mm) cartridge, compatible with most fuse clips and holders.

Applications
Ideal for:

• Motor control circuits
• Transformers and solenoids
• Power supplies and HVAC systems
• Industrial automation panels
• Lighting and appliance protection

Certifications & Compliance
UL Recognized and CSA Certified, meeting stringent safety standards for North American and international markets.
