Grab a handy cartridge fuse like this one from Eaton to protect your domestic and industrial electricals. As it's a sacrificial component, the wire inside melts to safely break your circuit when it receives too much current. With a high breaking capacity of 120kA, the fuse is a great shout for preventing equipment damage caused by thermal overloads. That delivers an extra safety boost, as it slashes the chances of an electrical fire. Thanks to the unit's robust ceramic body and silver-plated copper end caps, it's well-suited to demanding settings and limits arcing in high-voltage applications up to 500V AC.

• Allows you to isolate sub-systems from a main system in case of current faults
• Easy to mount, as it simply snaps into an Eaton CH14 modular fuse holder
• Industry-standard size of 51 (length) x 14mm (diameter) makes it widely compatible

An operating class of gG/gL indicates that this is a general-purpose fuse. This means it's suitable for preventing overload issues in most standard domestic and industrial jobs.
