Applications & Selection Guide
The Eaton Bussmann 355P11-660 is specified for general-purpose overcurrent protection in low voltage AC distribution systems operating at up to 660/690 V AC. The Class gG designation confirms that this fuse link provides full-range protection — it will safely clear both sustained overloads and high-magnitude short-circuit faults up to 80 kA, making it appropriate for feeders, incomer circuits, and branch circuits in industrial LV switchboards and MCC panels.
At 355 A, this fuse link is well suited to protecting cables, busbars, transformers, and large motor feeders in main distribution boards and sub-distribution panels. Its bolted-type, Centre Tag configuration in BS Size C1 fits standard BS88-compatible fuse carriers and bases widely used in panel manufacturing across India, ensuring straightforward integration into new builds and replacement projects.
Industries in India where this product is commonly specified include steel and metals, cement, chemical and pharma, textile mills, automotive manufacturing, data centres, commercial buildings, and utility sub-stations — particularly in Coimbatore’s strong industrial and manufacturing corridor. Panel builders, OEMs, and contractors seeking a reliable, standards-compliant 355 A gG fuse link for 660 V systems will find the 355P11-660 a proven solution backed by Eaton’s global quality assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the Eaton Bussmann 355P11-660?
Class gG stands for general-purpose, full-range fusing. It means the 355P11-660 is capable of safely interrupting currents from the minimum fusing current (overload range) all the way up to the maximum breaking capacity of 80 kA (short-circuit range). This makes it suitable for protecting cables, feeders, and distribution circuits where both overload and short-circuit protection is required from a single fuse element.
What is the breaking capacity of the 355P11-660 and why does it matter?
The 355P11-660 has a breaking capacity of 80 kA. Breaking capacity (also called interrupting rating) is the maximum prospective short-circuit current the fuse can safely clear without rupture or hazard. An 80 kA rating is suitable for most industrial LV switchgear and distribution panels in India where the prospective fault current at the incomer can be high, particularly on systems fed directly from large transformers or utility connections.
Is the 355P11-660 suitable for use on 415 V three-phase systems in India?
Yes. The 355P11-660 is rated at 660/690 V AC, which means it is fully suitable for use on standard 415 V three-phase 50 Hz systems used throughout India. A higher voltage-rated fuse link can always be used at a lower system voltage — the 660 V rating simply indicates the maximum system voltage the fuse is approved for. Always verify that the fuse base or carrier is also rated for the system voltage.
What is the BS Size C1 and Centre Tag designation on this fuse link?
BS Size C1 refers to the standardised physical dimensions of the fuse link body as defined under BS88 Part 2. The Centre Tag designation describes the position and configuration of the termination tags used to bolt the fuse into its carrier. Together, these two parameters determine which fuse base or carrier is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 355P11-660. Always match both the BS size and tag type when selecting a replacement fuse or specifying a fuse base.
Does the 355P11-660 comply with RoHS and CE requirements?
Yes. The Eaton Bussmann 355P11-660 is both CE Marked and RoHS Compliant. CE Marking confirms the product meets the applicable European safety directives, which is also referenced in many Indian industrial and export-oriented panel build specifications. RoHS compliance confirms that the fuse link does not contain restricted hazardous substances, making it suitable for use in environmentally sensitive applications and CE-marked panel assemblies.
