    Eaton MDL-3/10-R 300 mA 250 Vac Glass Time-Delay Fuse

    Built by Eaton, the MDL-3/10-R carries 300 mA, rated 250 Vac, uses a time-delay element, in a glass body.

    Selection Notes

    • Interrupting capability is 35 A at 250 Vac; 10,000 A at 125 Vac — confirm the circuit's prospective fault current stays below this.
    • Time-delay element rides through motor starting and capacitive inrush without nuisance opening.
    • Startup surges of several times rated current are tolerated for a short window.
    • Glass body lets you inspect the element after a fault.
    • Best kept for lower fault-current circuits where visual diagnosis matters.
    • Working voltage must stay at or below 250 Vac; a lower-rated part is not a safe substitute.
    • Do not upsize beyond 300 mA to stop nuisance trips — fix the cause instead.

    Q&A

    What are the ratings of the MDL-3/10-R?

    300 mA continuous at 250 Vac, interrupting rating 35 A at 250 Vac; 10,000 A at 125 Vac.

    Is the MDL-3/10-R fast-acting or time-delay?

    It is time-delay. It tolerates short inrush surges.

    Can the MDL-3/10-R be used on a higher fault-current circuit?

    No — its interrupting rating is 35 A at 250 Vac; 10,000 A at 125 Vac. Choose a part whose breaking capacity exceeds the prospective fault current.
