Eti-Polam CH10x38 aM Cylindrical Fuse Link 20A 500V

The Eti-Polam CH10x38 aM cylindrical fuse link is a specialized electrical protection device engineered for industrial environments. Designed to handle a rated current of 20A and a voltage of 500V, this component is specifically optimized for the protection of motor circuits where high inrush currents are common. Its standardized 10x38 mm dimensions allow for seamless integration into existing electrical distribution panels and compatible fuse holders, ensuring consistent safety and operational reliability.

Advantages

This fuse link offers exceptional performance in demanding industrial settings by providing precise protection against short-circuits and overloads. The aM characteristic ensures that the fuse remains stable during the temporary high-current peaks associated with motor starting, while still reacting quickly to sustained faults. Its robust construction guarantees durability and long-term stability, minimizing the risk of nuisance tripping and protecting sensitive electrical equipment from damage.

Suitable for

• Motor circuit protection
• Industrial control panels
• Electrical distribution systems
• Switchgear assemblies

This fuse is not suitable for general-purpose household applications where gG type fuses are typically required. It is also not intended for use in circuits where the operating voltage exceeds 500V or where the current requirements fall significantly outside the 20A rating.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 20A
• Rated voltage: 500V
• Size: 10x38 mm
• Characteristic: aM (motor protection)

To install the fuse, ensure the power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected. Insert the fuse link into a compatible 10x38 mm fuse holder, ensuring it is seated firmly to establish a proper electrical connection. Once installed, restore power and verify that the circuit is functioning correctly. Always use appropriate tools and follow standard electrical safety procedures during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 20A rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the fuse holder is compatible with 10x38 mm cylindrical fuses
• Confirm that the aM characteristic is appropriate for your specific application

Always replace a blown fuse with one of the exact same type, rating, and characteristic to maintain the safety and integrity of your electrical system.
