We've used the inline glass fuses for metering and battery fan
applications for 20 years without trouble. I certainly wouldn't use
them over 5 amps though. I actually tested these inline fuses on a 144
vdc vehicle battery bank once, and they blew without arcing or burning.
Of Course my name is not UL. However, this is also the fuse that comes
with Trimetric, Victron E-meters, and the Zephyr power vents, currently.
Also, glass fuses were used in many DC power centers back in the day, so
they have a long and proven track record in the 48 v dc solar industry
for low amp applications.
I found a standard fuse holder from Grainger that is rated for 300 Vdc.
The regular AGC fuse does not list a DC rating, which is odd, since it
is used for DC all the time. The ABC fuses are listed to 125 vdc and
are fast acting.

Hello Wrenches,
I'm looking for in line fuse and fuse holders for a 48 VDC systems in
the 1 - 4 Amp rating. The systems can go 67 VDC. FRN-R fuses have
this rating but are slow blow, 8 seconds at 500% current rating.
Is a glass fuse and in line fuse holder, listed for this voltage and
amperage, available anywhere? It seem that the default is to use 250
VAC glass fuses and holders, which seems like a questionable practice
to me.
