Cylindrical fuse link CH10x38 gG 20A/500V 002651020

Installation and Device Safety

Cylindrical fuse link CH10x38 gG 20A/500V is a safety element protecting electrical circuits against the effects of overloads and short circuits. This is particularly important in installations where protection against long-term overloads is required, and the gG characteristic provides delayed tripping, avoiding unnecessary downtime caused by short-term current surges.

This model, manufactured by ETI Polam, is designed to operate in circuits with a rated voltage of 500V and a rated current of 20A. The fuse link has dimensions of 10x38 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of distribution boards and enclosures.

Characteristics and Application

Fuse links with a gG (general purpose) characteristic are a universal solution for protecting most elements of the electrical installation. The gG characteristic means that the fuse link trips after a certain time when the current exceeds the rated value – this allows for short-term overloads that may occur, for example, during the starting of electric motors. This avoids unnecessary disconnection of the circuit.

Cylindrical fuse links CH10x38 are used in:

• securing distribution circuits,
• protecting electrical wires and devices,
• industrial and construction installations.

Installation and Replacement

Replacement of the fuse link should be carried out by a qualified electrician, after disconnecting the power supply. Replacing a damaged fuse link with a new one with identical parameters restores the full functionality of the installation protection. Simple installation and replacement save time and costs for the installer and end user.
