Description
Overview
The Eaton Bussmann ESD25 is a 25 A, 550 V AC Class gG low voltage fuse link from the Bussmann ESD series, designed for reliable general purpose circuit protection in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Conforming to BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2, it offers an 80 kA breaking capacity and is CE marked and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for modern panel builds across India. The long clip-on tag format (BS Size F2) enables quick, secure mounting in standard clip-on fuse carriers without additional tools.

Applications & Selection Guide
The ESD25 is the right choice when you need reliable general purpose overcurrent protection at 25 A in industrial low voltage systems up to 550 V AC. It protects feeder circuits, branch circuits, and motor starter incomer circuits in motor control centres, PCC and MCC panels, and main distribution boards found across manufacturing plants, process industries, and commercial buildings throughout India.
Class gG fuses provide full-range protection — they respond to sustained overloads as well as bolted short-circuit faults — making the ESD25 suitable wherever a single fuse must handle both overload and fault conditions without a separate back-up device. The 80 kA breaking capacity comfortably covers the prospective short-circuit currents seen at distribution boards fed from large transformers in Indian industrial facilities.
The long clip-on tag (BS Size F2) is compatible with Eaton Bussmann clip-on fuse carriers and bases designed for the ESD series. Panel builders and OEMs in Coimbatore, Chennai, Pune, and other Indian industrial hubs regularly specify ESD series fuses for their compact footprint and straightforward replacement procedure. Always verify carrier compatibility and confirm the prospective fault level at the point of installation before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the ESD25 fuse?
Class gG denotes a general purpose, full-range fuse that is capable of breaking any current from the minimum fusing current up to the rated breaking capacity (80 kA for the ESD25). It provides protection against both prolonged overloads and short-circuit faults, making it suitable for feeder and branch circuit protection without a separate back-up fuse.
What is the difference between the ESD25 long clip-on tag and a standard blade tag?
The long clip-on tag on the ESD25 is designed to snap directly into spring-clip type fuse carriers, allowing the fuse to be inserted and removed by hand without tools. A standard blade or tag fuse typically requires a screwdriver or fuse puller for bolted connections. The clip-on format speeds up replacement during maintenance and reduces the risk of incorrect reassembly in high-density panels.
Is the ESD25 suitable for motor protection applications in India?
The ESD25 can be used on the supply incomer of a motor starter circuit where Class gG protection is specified. However, for dedicated motor branch-circuit protection where high inrush currents must be tolerated without nuisance blowing, a Class aM (motor duty) fuse is generally preferred. Always check the motor manufacturer’s coordination table and the panel designer’s fault level calculations before specifying any fuse for motor protection.
Which fuse carrier or base is compatible with the ESD25?
The ESD25 is BS Size F2 with a long clip-on tag, so it requires an Eaton Bussmann clip-on fuse carrier rated for the F2 body size and suitable for 25 A at 550 V AC. Refer to the Eaton Bussmann fuse carrier selection guide or contact Shansen Enterprises in Coimbatore — we can confirm the correct carrier part number for your specific panel layout and busbar system.
Does the ESD25 comply with IEC standards accepted in India?
Yes. The ESD25 is manufactured to BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2, is IEC rated, CE marked, and RoHS compliant. IEC 60269-2 is the internationally harmonised standard referenced by Indian switchgear and panel specifications, and acceptance by electrical inspectors and consultants across India is routine for IEC-certified fuse links of this type.
