Application fit
The OEM Industries GSG RGS4 is a 40 A cylindrical ceramic tube fuse rated for 690 V AC and a 50 kA breaking capacity. It suits industrial line-protection circuits where a bolted joint connection is required. Buyers needing a different current rating, a blade-style fitting or a DC-rated device will not be served by this part.
Sustained-load behaviour
The aR characteristic provides fast-acting response to over-currents while withstanding normal inrush transients. The ceramic body and high interrupting rating maintain integrity during repeated fault events up to the 50 kA limit. Continuous operation at the 40 A rating assumes adequate ventilation and correct torque on the bolted terminals.
Installation notes
Bolted joints demand a calibrated torque wrench and clean contact surfaces to avoid hot spots. Verify the 690 V AC rating matches the system voltage before fitting. The cylindrical form factor requires compatible fuse holders or busbar clamps; mismatched hardware is the most common cause of premature failure.

Questions about this item
Does the 690V rating mean this aR fuse runs cooler than a lower-voltage fuse at 40A?
The 690V rating shows the maximum voltage the fuse can interrupt safely. Temperature rise at 40A depends on the fuse element and the surrounding enclosure, not on the voltage rating alone.
What mounting hardware must I already have to install this bolted-joint fuse?
You need matching bolted fuse bases or terminal blocks that accept the cylindrical ceramic body and provide the bolted connections shown in the product title.
Can this 50kA aR fuse replace an older gG fuse in the same holder?
This fuse has a 50kA breaking capacity and aR characteristic for semiconductor protection. It only fits holders designed for the same cylindrical ceramic dimensions and bolted-joint termination.
