Applications & Selection Guide
The SSD10 is selected for general purpose overcurrent protection in low voltage switchgear panels, motor control centres (MCCs), and distribution boards where circuits up to 10 A at 240 V AC need reliable fault current interruption. Its 33 kA breaking capacity makes it adequate for most industrial and commercial distribution points in India where prospective short-circuit currents can be significant, particularly in facilities connected to strong utility supplies.
As a Class gG fuse, the SSD10 provides full-range protection, meaning it can safely interrupt currents from small overloads up to its rated breaking capacity without requiring a backup fuse. This makes it especially practical for lighting circuits, small motor branch circuits, control circuits, and auxiliary power supplies in manufacturing plants, textile mills, engineering workshops, and commercial buildings across Tamil Nadu and the wider Indian market.
Panel builders and electrical contractors in Coimbatore and across India should verify that the installed fuse holder is rated for the E1 BS Size and the small clip-on tag type to ensure proper seating and contact integrity. When replacing or specifying fuses for an existing BS88 clip-on installation, confirm the voltage, amperage, and breaking capacity requirements against the circuit’s design parameters before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Class gG rating mean for the Eaton Bussmann SSD10?
Class gG indicates that the SSD10 is a general purpose, full-range fuse link capable of interrupting all currents from the minimum fusing current up to its rated breaking capacity of 33 kA. Unlike backup fuses, a gG fuse does not require a series protective device and provides both overload and short-circuit protection in a single element, making it suitable for protecting cables, distribution circuits, and general electrical equipment.
What is the BS Size and tag type of the SSD10, and why does it matter for installation?
The SSD10 is an E1 BS Size fuse link with a small clip-on tag type. These physical parameters determine compatibility with the fuse holder or carrier into which the fuse is installed. Using the correct BS Size and tag type ensures proper electrical contact, mechanical retention, and safe operation. Installing a fuse in a mismatched holder can result in poor contact, overheating, or failure to operate correctly under fault conditions.
Is the Eaton Bussmann SSD10 suitable for use in Indian electrical panels and distribution boards?
Yes. The SSD10 is rated at 240 V AC and complies with BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2, which are internationally recognized standards accepted in Indian electrical installations. Its 33 kA breaking capacity is sufficient for many LV distribution applications in India. It is CE Marked and RoHS Compliant, and it carries IEC certification, making it suitable for use in switchgear panels, MCCs, and distribution boards in industrial, commercial, and domestic settings across India.
Can the SSD10 be used for motor protection applications?
The SSD10 is a Class gG general purpose fuse link and is not specifically optimized for motor branch circuit protection, which typically benefits from Class aM (motor rated) or equivalent time-delay fuses that tolerate motor starting inrush currents without nuisance blowing. However, for small auxiliary or control circuits associated with motor control centres, or as a distribution fuse upstream of a motor starter, the SSD10 at 10 A may be appropriate. Always verify the application requirements and consult circuit design standards or Shansen Enterprises’ technical team before specifying.
What fuse holder is compatible with the Eaton Bussmann SSD10?
The SSD10 requires a BS88 clip-on type fuse holder designed for the E1 BS Size with a small clip-on tag configuration. Eaton Bussmann and other BS88-compatible manufacturers produce a range of fuse holders, carriers, and bases that accept this form factor. Contact Shansen Enterprises in Coimbatore for guidance on selecting the correct compatible holder for your panel or distribution board design.
