Cylindrical fuse, 10x38, 1000VDC

DF Electric gPV 10x38 cylindrical fuse links have been developed to offer a compact, safety and economic protection with voltages up to 1000VDC.

They provide protection against overloads as well as short-circuit (gPV class according to the requirements of IEC60269-6 and UL248-19 Standards).
Made with ceramic tube with high withstand to internal pressure and thermal shock, that allows a high breaking capacity in a reduced physical space.

Contacts are made in silver plated copper and melting elements are made in pure silver in order to avoid the aging and thus keep unalterable the electric characteristics.

Fits the 10x38 DC fuse holder

Datasheet

Important note on protection components selection:
Fuse and breaker current rating is not the same as your normal operating current. For continuous loads, choose a fuse or breaker with a higher current rating than the load so it does not run too close to its limit. A heavily loaded protective device may cause false trips, excessive heat, reduced lifespan and less safety margin. For DC circuits roughly 25% overhead is a good rule of thumb. If the system has an operating current of 20A, go for a 25A protective device. 25A = 30/32A, 30A = 40A, 50A = 63A and so on.
