The AG stands for All Glass. There are suffix types "A" (Up to five amps and shorter than AGC); "C" (up to thirty amps) and "U" (up to sixty amps, big and fat) that I know of. These glass fuses come in a style called "SFE" from "Society of Fuse Engineers". They run up to about 25 amps and are longer than AGC.

The new blade fuses are AT, from American blade Type. ATC, up to thirty amps. ATM (mini) and so on.

From the acronym finder site the definition of agc is recorded as " automotive glass cartridge" it is known as the current standard of glass fuses. They are all the same size for the different amerage ratings whereas the sfe fuses are different sizes for the different ratings.

Possibly. If a fuse keeps blowing it you should check the circuit and the loading. Using a higher rated fuse may result in the appliances being damaged because of power overload. Worse, it could result i a short or a fire. DON'T RISK IT!


What ist the difference between a sfe and an agc fuse?

Both the SFE and AGC are glass fuses with a meltable link within the glass. The SFE fuses all measure 1/4" in diameter. The length is determined by the amperage rating, which varies from 5/8" in length (4 amp.) to 1 7/16" in length (30 amp). The SFE fuse is also designated as "size rejecting" because the size differences are related to the amperage rating and tends to prevent interchanging different amperage ratings. The AGC fuse measures 1 1/4" in length and the diameter is 1/4" for all amperage ratings.
