What this fuse does
This EATON BUSSMANN MDA-series ceramic fuse provides time-delay overcurrent protection rated at 3.20 A and 250 V AC. It is intended for circuits that experience brief inrush currents without nuisance opening. The 100 A interrupting rating at 250 V AC allows it to clear faults safely in compatible equipment. Supplied as a pack of five identical fuses.
How it fits a circuit
The cylindrical body measures 1-1/4 in long by 1/4 in diameter and uses a non-rejection design that fits standard fuse blocks. Compatible block series include 3823, HFA, HHN, HK, HKP, HPF, HRK, HTB and S-8000. Cross-reference equivalents are Littelfuse 326 and Mersen GSA series. No indicator window is fitted, so visual inspection or testing is required after a fault.
Behaviour under sustained load
Time-delay construction tolerates temporary overloads while still opening on sustained overcurrent. The ceramic body withstands high interrupting energy without shattering. Single-element design gives predictable clearing under continuous fault conditions. Not suited for applications that require fast-acting response or visual blow indication.

Questions about this item
At what current does the 3.20 A ceramic fuse open after a sustained overload?
The time-delay element allows temporary surges above 3.20 A before opening; exact clearing time depends on the overload magnitude.
How much heat does the fuse generate during continuous all-day operation at rated current?
Normal operation at 3.20 A produces only minimal warmth; the ceramic body dissipates heat effectively without becoming hot to the touch.
Which fuse block series must I already have to install these 1-1/4 in × 1/4 in cylindrical fuses?
Compatible blocks include the 3823, HFA, HHN, HK, HKP, HPF, HRK, HTB and S-8000 series.
