Practical Notes
- Interrupting capability is 200 A at 250 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 5 A to stop nuisance trips — fix the cause instead.
Application Scenarios
Common installation contexts include:
- EV
- surge
- transformer
Questions and Answers
What are the ratings of the MDQ-5?
5 A continuous at 250 Vac, interrupting rating 200 A at 250 Vac.
Is the MDQ-5 fast-acting or time-delay?
It is time-delay. It tolerates short inrush surges.
Can the MDQ-5 be used on a higher fault-current circuit?
No — its interrupting rating is 200 A at 250 Vac. Choose a part whose breaking capacity exceeds the prospective fault current.
