The gG characteristic provides a versatile protection profile, covering a wide range of current levels to safeguard sensitive equipment. Its compact 10x38mm form factor allows for efficient space utilization within modular fuse holders and distribution boards, making it an ideal choice for modern electrical infrastructure where space is at a premium.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution systems
• Control panels and automation equipment
• General-purpose circuit protection
• Protection of cables and electrical lines

This fuse is not intended for applications requiring high-speed protection for sensitive power electronics, such as semiconductor devices, where aR or gR type fuses are typically required. It is also not suitable for circuits exceeding the 500VAC voltage rating or for environments with extreme mechanical vibrations that might exceed the design specifications of standard cylindrical fuse holders.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 10x38mm
• Rated voltage: 500VAC
• Rated current: 2A
• Characteristic: gG (general purpose)
• Body material: Ceramic

To use the fuse, ensure the power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected. Insert the fuse link into a compatible 10x38mm fuse holder or disconnect switch. Ensure that the fuse is fully seated and that the holder is properly closed before restoring power to the system. Always verify that the current rating of the fuse matches the requirements of the circuit being protected.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2A current rating is appropriate for your specific circuit load
• Ensure the fuse holder is compatible with the 10x38mm size
• Check that the system voltage does not exceed 500VAC

Usage recommendations

Always replace a blown fuse with one of the exact same type, current rating, and characteristic to maintain the integrity of the electrical protection system. Never attempt to bypass or repair a blown fuse.
