Eaton 6A Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 10 x 38mm

The Eaton range of cartridge fuses is available for domestic electrical applications, from circuit breakers to plugs and sockets. These ceramic fuses are also available with an optional visual indicator.

What material are these made from?

All series of cylindrical fuse links have ceramic bodies and silverplated copper end caps.

Why choose ceramic cartridge fuse?

Ceramic and glass cartridge fuses have similar properties. The capacity of a ceramic cartridge fuse is higher than other fuses, which means that ceramic fuses can be used in circuits that have a higher current rating. They are perfect for protecting against overheating.

What size is it?

Sizes 8 x 32 mm, 10 x 38 mm, 14x51 mm & 22x58 mm in both Class gL-gG and aM are also available with a built-in striker for micro-switch operation and remote indication. Class gL-gG and aM fuse links are intended for industrial applications. All industrial fuse links are available with an operated visible fuse indicator.

What voltage is it?

This range of cylindrical cartridge fuses is available in a wide selection of physical sizes and current ratings for applications where the system voltage rating is 400, 500 and 690 Volts AC.


What is Breaking Capacity?

Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or breaking. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit.

What are cartridge fuses used for?

• For the protection of components and equipment from costly damage used by over-current
• To isolate sub-systems from the main system once a fault has appeared

What is an overcurrent?

It is a setting where a circuit experiences a current that is higher than the normal operating current.

Use this cartridge fuse from the Eaton range to safeguard your electrical appliances against fault currents and short circuits. It has a wire filament that melts when an overcurrent occurs. This cuts power to the system, protecting you from injury and preventing damage to the circuit. Its copper contact end caps are highly conductive, so they deliver a reliable connection. Their corrosion-resistant silver plating means you're assured of long-term performance as they won't decay from rust. You can use this fuse in a variety of domestic applications, including sockets and distribution boards.

• Visual indicator for easy identification of fuse condition
• Ceramic body material is thermally resistant to prevent overheating
• Compact dimensions of 10 (diameter) x 38mm (length) for standard use
• Voltage rating of 500V AC (alternating current) suitable for low-voltage applications

This fuse helps reduce the risk of fires resulting from short circuits. It can also help prevent shocks from electrical appliances and arcing on distribution boards, especially in areas prone to thunderstorms.
