Cylindrical fuse 10 x 38 mm 2A GG 500V AC C10G2

Installation and device safety with Eaton C10G2 cylindrical insert

The Eaton C10G2 cylindrical fuse insert is a reliable element protecting electrical circuits against overload and short circuit. Designed for operation in AC installations with a voltage of 500V, it provides effective protection for both installers and end users. Its compact dimensions (10x38 mm) allow for easy installation in standard fuse holders.

Characteristics and application

This insert is characterized by a gG characteristic, which means it is intended for protecting wiring and electrical devices. This means it reacts to overloads of longer duration, minimizing the risk of unnecessary circuit tripping during short-term voltage spikes – useful, for example, when starting motors. The rated current of 2A makes it ideal for protecting circuits with lower current draw, such as lighting or small electronic devices. The breaking capacity of 120 kA guarantees safe circuit interruption in the event of a short circuit.

• Wiring protection: The gG characteristic provides optimal protection of cables against damage caused by overload.
• Device protection: Protects connected devices from the effects of short circuits and overloads, extending their lifespan.
• Versatility: Suitable for use in various AC installations with a voltage of up to 500V and a frequency of 45-62 Hz.
• Compact dimensions: Facilitate installation in tight spaces.
• High breaking capacity: Ensures safe circuit interruption in the event of a failure.

Construction and parameters

The C10G2 insert is made of ceramic, which ensures its high resistance to environmental conditions and stable operating parameters. The power loss at the rated current is only 0.6 W, which minimizes energy losses in the circuit. The lack of a clear indication of operation means that visual inspection of the fuse status requires its removal from the holder – a standard practice for this type of insert. It is important to select the correct fuse for the protected circuit, taking into account the rated current and the operating characteristics of the device.
