Hi Drake,
Some in-line glass fuses and holders are not rated for 48 VDC. The
midnite 1 Amp breaker is an good option like Ray said but sometimes I
prefer to use a fuse so it doesn't get accidentally shut off or so I can
bury it behind a panel so the customer doesn't have too easy access.
So If I have easy access to a place to mount DIN Rail such as in a
Midnite E-Panel - then I use a midnite touch-fuse holder

and a 1 amp fuse. Or you can get them at any supply house like this.

And of course it's easy enough to add a piece of DIN Rail to the back of
any panel.
I like using this approach for fusing 24 V power supplies running the
monitoring equipment too - again so they don't get easily shut off.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Jeff

Hello Wrenches,
It seems that inline fuse holders and glass fuses are becoming hard to
find. What is a good way to protect 48 V DC control and
instrumentation wires?
Thank you,
Drake
