Eaton Cartridge Fuse, 500V Voltage Rating, Ceramic Body - C10G2
Ramp up the safety in your electrical devices with this cartridge fuse from Eaton. It's designed for use in low-voltage applications like circuit breakers, plugs and sockets. As it has a ceramic body, it provides a greater fuse capacity than glass-based options, meaning it's a reliable choice for preventing overheating in circuits with a higher current rating.
Features & Benefits
• Silver-plated copper end caps for top-notch conductivity
• Breaking capacity of 120kA means it can withstand very high current loads
• Simple cylindrical shape ensures replacing the fuse is straightforward and hassle-free
• gG/gL categorisation indicates it's suitable for use with a full range of general purpose applications
How does this cartridge fuse work?
If too much electrical current flows through the cartridge fuse, the thin wire filament inside melts, breaking the circuit and protecting downstream equipment against damage. The fuse is a sacrificial element that can't be reused, so after it's blown, you need to replace it immediately.
What are the other benefits of using a cartridge fuse?
Cartridge fuses are a cost-effective solution for protection of electrical devices. They don't produce flames or toxic substances when burning out, so they're ideal for use in both domestic and industrial applications.
