Applications & Selection Guide
The Eaton Bussmann CD100 is a general purpose Class gG fuse link intended for protecting cables, busbars, and distribution circuits in low voltage systems operating at 415V AC. Its 80 kA breaking capacity makes it appropriate for installations where high fault current levels are present, such as main distribution boards, sub-main panels, and motor control centres in factories, commercial complexes, and infrastructure projects across India.
Class gG fuses provide full-range overcurrent protection, meaning they operate on both overload and short-circuit conditions. The CD100 at 100A is commonly selected for feeders supplying machinery, HVAC equipment, and process loads in Coimbatore’s textile mills, engineering workshops, auto component manufacturers, and large commercial establishments, where compliance with IEC 60269-2 is a project specification requirement.
When selecting this fuse link, verify that the installed fuse carrier or switch-fuse base accepts BS Size B1 bolted type fuse links with centre tag single slot termination. Ensure upstream and downstream coordination with other protective devices to achieve selective tripping and maintain system continuity during fault events.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the Eaton Bussmann CD100 fuse link?
Class gG denotes a general purpose, full-range fuse that provides protection against both overload currents and short-circuit currents across its entire operating range. The CD100 will operate under sustained overloads as well as high prospective fault currents up to 80 kA, making it suitable for protecting cables and general distribution circuits in low voltage switchgear and distribution boards.
What is the breaking capacity of the CD100 and why does it matter?
The Eaton Bussmann CD100 has an 80 kA breaking capacity, which is the maximum prospective fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without failure or hazard. When installing this fuse link, the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation must not exceed 80 kA. In most Indian industrial 415V AC distribution systems, this rating provides adequate margin for main and sub-main distribution applications.
Which fuse carrier or base is compatible with the CD100 bolted type fuse link?
The CD100 is a BS Size B1 bolted type fuse link with a centre tag single slot configuration. It requires a fuse carrier, switch-fuse base, or fuse holder specifically designed for BS88 B1 bolted type fuse links. Always confirm with the fuse base manufacturer’s technical data that the base accepts B1 bolted centre tag single slot fuse links before installation. Shansen Enterprises can assist with compatibility guidance for your specific panel design.
Is the Eaton Bussmann CD100 suitable for use in Indian 415V three-phase distribution systems?
Yes. The CD100 is rated at 415V AC, which directly matches the standard Indian three-phase low voltage distribution system voltage. It complies with IEC 60269-2 and BS88 Part 2, both of which are widely accepted standards referenced in Indian electrical project specifications. It is CE Marked and RoHS Compliant, satisfying additional requirements for projects with international or export-oriented compliance needs.
Can the CD100 be used for motor circuit protection in a motor control centre?
Class gG fuse links like the CD100 are designed for general purpose circuit and cable protection rather than dedicated motor protection. For motor branch circuit protection, Class aM (motor rated) fuse links are typically preferred because they allow motor starting inrush currents to pass without blowing. However, the CD100 may be used as the incoming feeder protection upstream of a motor starter in a motor control centre, where its role is to protect the busbar and incoming cable rather than the motor directly. Consult the motor starter and panel design specifications to confirm the correct fuse class for each position in the circuit.
