The voltage rating of a circuit breaker or fuse is the maximum circuit voltage at which the performance will be as specified. The higher the operating voltage the farther the contacts must open to break the arc when a breaker opens from an overload. So a 48 volt (maximum) circuit breaker will have a good safe margin in a 24 volt system.
