Selection Notes
- Interrupting capability is 200 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.
- Ceramic body holds higher breaking capacity than glass at the same footprint.
- It is the usual choice where prospective fault current is high.
- Working voltage must stay at or below 250 Vac; a lower-rated part is not a safe substitute.
- Do not upsize beyond 8 A to stop nuisance trips — fix the cause instead.

Q&A
What are the ratings of the MDA-8-R?
8 A continuous at 250 Vac, interrupting rating 200 A at 250 Vac; 10,000 A at 125 Vac.
Is the MDA-8-R fast-acting or time-delay?
It is time-delay. It tolerates short inrush surges.
Can the MDA-8-R be used on a higher fault-current circuit?
No — its interrupting rating is 200 A at 250 Vac; 10,000 A at 125 Vac. Choose a part whose breaking capacity exceeds the prospective fault current.
