Cylindrical fuse link DC CH10X38 BAT 2A/550V DC 002626002

Fuse links for protecting battery packs

The CH10x38 gBat 2A/550V DC fuse link is an element used to protect battery packs from the effects of overloads and short circuits. Specifically designed for use in DC installations, it provides a quick and effective response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage to connected devices. Its compact dimensions (10x38 mm) allow for mounting in limited space, which is particularly important in emergency power systems and other applications requiring high power density.

Characteristics and application

The fuse link is characterized by a gBAT characteristic, which means it is optimized for operation with pulsed loads, typical of battery packs. This ensures reliable protection against overvoltages occurring during battery charging and discharging. The short-circuit breaking capacity of 30kA guarantees the safety of the installation even in the event of serious disturbances. The rated current of 2A makes the fuse link suitable for medium-power systems.

Key features and benefits

• Fast response: The gBAT characteristic ensures a quick disconnection of the circuit when the rated current is exceeded, protecting batteries and other system components.
• High short-circuit breaking capacity: 30kA short-circuit breaking capacity minimizes the risk of damage to the installation during a short circuit.
• Compact dimensions: Dimensions of 10x38 mm make it easy to mount in tight spaces.
• Application in DC systems: Specifically designed to operate with DC voltage of 550V, ideal for protecting battery packs.
• Low power loss: Power losses of 0.47W (at 0.7xIn) minimize energy losses and improve system efficiency.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of IEC 60269 standard, which guarantees safety and reliability of operation.
• Joule integral of switching: a value of 1.8 A²s indicates the ability to absorb energy during circuit disconnection.

Logistics and classification

Fuse links are available in both basic (10 pieces) and transport (500 pieces) packaging, which facilitates their storage and transport. The product has an EAN code of 3838400056818 and is classified in ETIM as a miniature cylindrical fuse (EC002704). The weight of a single fuse link is only 8.3g, which makes it easy to handle during assembly.
