Blade fuse 10 A – code: 14.004.30 – Osculati

Blade fuse 10 A Osculati – code 14.004.30

The blade fuse 10 A Osculati (supplier product code 14.004.30) is a protective component designed for electrical systems where a practical and immediate solution for line management is required. It is a typical replacement for panels, fuse holders, and electrical distributions where blade fuses are used, aiming to contribute to circuit protection in case of overcurrent.

In the nautical and onboard system field, having spare fuses available is an important aspect of routine maintenance: having the correct value on board allows for quick and orderly interventions, reducing downtime and facilitating diagnosis. This model is identified by the Osculati code 14.004.30 and the rated current 10 A.

Features and details

Blade format

The fuse is in blade format (blade), a very common type for protecting low voltage circuits in technical applications. The blade format is appreciated because it allows easy replacement and orderly management of spares, especially when inserted in dedicated fuse holders or distribution panels.

Rated current and identification

• Rated current: 10 A
• Supplier product code: 14.004.30
• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.

For proper warehouse or onboard equipment management, it is advisable to refer both to the ampere value and to the code 14.004.30, useful for reorders and replacements consistent with the existing system.

Color and recognizability

The product is indicated with assorted colors based on amperage capacity. This color convention helps to more quickly recognize the fuse value during maintenance or during visual inspection of the electrical panel, especially when multiple lines protected with different values are present.

Rated voltage

Nominal voltage: max 32 V.

This data is useful to verify the suitability of the fuse with respect to the voltage of the system in which it will be installed. In case of doubts about the correct selection of the component, it is good practice to compare the specifications of the fuse holder and the indications of the system manufacturer.

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

The 10 A blade fuse is commonly used as a protection element on lines and loads where this nominal current value is expected, in contexts such as:

• Onboard electrical systems for auxiliary services and loads, inside distribution panels or boards.
• Fuse holders and fuse boxes designed for blade fuses, in new installations or as replacements.
• Maintenance and restoration of existing circuits, when it is necessary to replace a blown fuse.
• Spare parts supply for quick interventions, useful during navigation or on site.

Actual applications depend on the system configuration and line sizing: for this reason, it is important to follow the indications of the electrical project or the technical installer.

Operational advantages

Immediate replacement and organized management

The blade format is practical for replacement and for organizing spares. In a well-labeled system, identifying the correct fuse is easier, helping to make maintenance more straightforward.

Facilitated recognition through color

The presence of assorted colors based on amperage capacity supports visual recognition of the value, reducing the risk of confusion when working on multiple protected lines. In any case, it is always advisable to also check the nominal value before installation.

Consistency with Osculati coding

The reference to code 14.004.30 allows precise reordering and more efficient management of scheduled maintenance, especially in professional contexts where it is useful to maintain the same type of component already installed.

Usage and important notes

Selection of the correct value

Using a fuse with the correct nominal value is essential to maintain the protection provided by the circuit. This product is to be 10 A: before replacement, verify that the value required by the system is actually the one indicated, consulting the electrical diagram, panel labels, or manufacturer instructions.

Compatibility with fuse holder

The fuse is of type lamellare and must be installed in a fuse holder designed for this type. If the system uses different formats, it is appropriate to choose the correct component or adapt the support according to the technical installation instructions.

Checks before and after replacement

• Before intervening, put the system in a safe condition according to the prescribed procedures.
• Check the fuse holder status (contacts clean and intact) to avoid false contacts or overheating.
• After replacement, check the proper restoration of the line and monitor any repeated fuse trips, which may indicate an anomaly upstream or downstream of the circuit.

Note on nominal voltage

The nominal voltage max 32 V should be considered when choosing the component. In case of systems with different characteristics, it is necessary to select a fuse with appropriate specifications.

In summary: an Osculati blade fuse of 10 A, identified by code 14.004.30, designed as a replacement and protective component for electrical systems where blade fuses are used, with indication of nominal voltage max 32 V and color coding associated with the amperage value.
