Time-delay fuse link DV/GG 160A 500V 002315402

Installation and device safety – ETI POLAM fuse links

The DV/GG 160A 500V fuse link is a protective element designed to protect electrical circuits from the effects of overloads and short circuits. It is a key component in ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. These types of fuse links are used to protect various devices and circuits, from lighting to electric motors.

Characteristics and application

The fuse link with a time-delay characteristic (gG) allows for short-term exceeding of the rated current without tripping, which is important when starting devices with motors or transformers that generate high starting current. The short-circuit breaking capacity reaches 50kA at 500V AC and 8kA at 500V DC, which guarantees effective protection even in the event of serious failures. The DV size indicates the standard fuse size, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fuse holders. Made of ceramic, it provides good insulation and resistance to environmental conditions.

Advantages and benefits

• Protection against overloads and short circuits: Protects the electrical installation and connected devices from damage caused by excessive current.
• Time-delay characteristic (gG): Allows for safe starting of devices with high starting current, minimizing the risk of unnecessary tripping.
• High breaking capacity: Ensures effective circuit interruption in the event of a short circuit, protecting against fire and other hazards.
• Standard size (DV): Enables easy replacement and installation in existing electrical installations.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of DIN EN 60269-1 and DIN EN 60269-3 standards, which confirms its safety and reliability.
• Ceramic construction: Provides good electrical insulation and resistance to high temperatures.
• Wide voltage range: Suitable for use in both AC (500V) and DC (250V) circuits.

Construction and installation

The DV/GG 160A 500V fuse link is characterized by a solid ceramic construction and metal terminals ensuring good electrical contact. Installation is done by placing the fuse link in an appropriate fuse holder, which should be selected to match its size (DV) and rated current (160A). Remember to maintain proper polarity during installation! Replacement of the fuse link should be carried out only by a qualified electrician, after disconnecting the power supply. The copper color indicates the material of the terminals.
