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.

What does ACG mean on a fuse?
Are you sure you do not mean AGC? AGC stands for Automotive Glass Cartridge (Fuse). AGC fuses are fast acting fuses that will blown very quickly to protect components.
What does AGC stand for on a fuse?
AGC is a fuse type IE; the glass ones with the metal tips on the ends.
What is the difference between an AGS fuse and an AGC fuse?
The ags is an obsolete fuse no longer in production. It is nearly identical to the agc except it has a larger diameter
Do I use sfe or agc style fuses for my 1965 Impala?
Which style of fuse do I use for 1965 SS Impala, sfe or agc?
Can you replace a mgc fuse with an agc?
As long as they are the same amperage and it fits, yes.
Can a 10 amp AGC fuse be used in a 10 amp rated DC circuit?
Yes, a 10 amp AGC fuse can be used in a 10 amp rated DC circuit as long as the fuse rating matches the circuit's ampacity. This ensures that the fuse will blow before the circuit is overloaded, protecting the circuit from damage and potential hazards.
Is it harmful to use a 3 AGC fuse where an AGC 1 was used but it keeps breaking?
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.
