Cylindrical fuse link CH10x38 aM 32A/400V 002652020

Professional protection for electric motors

The CH10x38 aM cylindrical fuse link with a rated current of 32A and a voltage of AC 400V is a specialized solution designed to protect relays, contactors, and electric motors from the effects of short circuits. It features a high breaking capacity of 120kA, which guarantees effective interruption even of very large short-circuit currents while maintaining compact dimensions of 10×38 mm.

Technical parameters and operating characteristics

The product belongs to the aM (motor short-circuit protection) category according to the IEC 60269 standard, which means it provides partial-range protection specifically adapted to circuits containing inductive loads such as electric motors. Unlike gG characteristics (full-range protection), aM fuse links are designed not to react to short-term current surges occurring during motor startup, while effectively interrupting the circuit in the event of an actual short circuit.

The rated voltage of AC 400V allows for application in typical three-phase installations, and the rated current of 32A is suitable for medium-sized industrial motors. Power losses of only 1.8W minimize the heating of the fuse link during normal operation.

Application and compatibility

This fuse link finds particular application in control panels, drive cabinets, and industrial automation systems where it protects control circuits containing contactor and relay coils. Thanks to the standard dimensions of 10×38 mm, it is compatible with most fuse holders of this type available on the market.

The product meets the requirements of the IEC 60269-1 and IEC 60269-2 standards, confirming its compliance with European electrical safety standards. The ETIM classification EC000035 identifies it as a "miniature cylindrical fuse link", facilitating identification in design systems.
