Overview

The Mersen GDL30 miniature fuse (SKU: GDL30) provides reliable overcurrent protection for low-voltage AC applications up to 32VAC and 30A. Engineered with a time-delay characteristic, this glass-body fuse prevents nuisance tripping during temporary inrush currents common in motor starting or capacitor charging circuits while still offering robust protection against sustained overloads and short circuits. The 6.3x32mm ferrule end caps ensure secure connections in standard fuse holders, and the glass construction allows visual inspection of the fuse element for quick status verification. With an interrupting rating of 300A at 32VAC, the GDL30 meets UL and CSA safety standards for 20-30A ratings in 32VAC circuits. Its compact 1/4" x 1-1/4" (6.3x32mm) size makes it ideal for space-constrained designs in industrial control panels, power supplies, test equipment, consumer electronics, automotive systems, and telecommunications infrastructure. The time-delay feature (12-second delay at 200% rating) balances transient surge tolerance with fault protection, reducing maintenance and downtime in critical applications.
