Applications & Selection Guide
The Eaton Bussmann 2HO7-660 is suited for general purpose overcurrent protection in low voltage electrical installations operating at up to 660/690V AC. Its Class gG rating makes it ideal for protecting cables, busbars, and distribution circuits where full-range protection against overloads and short circuits is required. Typical installation environments include low voltage switchgear panels, motor control centres (MCCs), and distribution boards across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects throughout India.
With a 2A current rating and 80kA breaking capacity, this fuse link is appropriate for protecting lightly loaded circuits and sensitive equipment within larger distribution systems. Engineers specifying fuses for Indian industrial facilities — including textile mills, automotive plants, cement works, and process industries in Coimbatore and across Tamil Nadu — will find this product compliant with both IEC 60269-2 and BS88 Part 2, meeting the requirements of both legacy BS-standard and modern IEC-aligned panel designs.
When selecting this fuse link, confirm compatibility with the fuse holder BS size (A2) and verify the offset tag orientation matches your fuse base. For higher amperage requirements within the HO7 Series, alternative catalog numbers are available — contact Shansen Enterprises for a complete series listing and selection assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Class gG rating mean for the Eaton Bussmann 2HO7-660?
Class gG denotes a general purpose, full-range fuse capable of interrupting currents from the minimum fusing current up to its rated breaking capacity of 80kA. The ‘g’ indicates full-range breaking capacity and the ‘G’ indicates general purpose application, meaning it protects against both sustained overloads and high-energy short circuits in cables and distribution circuits.
Is the Eaton Bussmann 2HO7-660 suitable for use in Indian LV distribution systems?
Yes. The 2HO7-660 is rated at 660/690V AC and complies with IEC 60269-2 and BS88 Part 2, both of which are recognised standards in Indian low voltage electrical installations. It is CE Marked and IEC Rated, making it appropriate for use in switchgear panels, MCCs, and distribution boards supplied under Indian grid voltages.
What is the BS Size and tag type of the 2HO7-660, and why does it matter?
The 2HO7-660 is an A2 BS size fuse link with an offset tag. BS size determines physical compatibility with the fuse holder or fuse base — only A2-rated holders will accept this fuse link correctly. The offset tag orientation must also match the holder design to ensure correct fitment and reliable electrical contact. Always verify holder compatibility before installation.
Can the Eaton Bussmann 2HO7-660 be used for motor protection applications?
The 2HO7-660 carries a Class gG rating, which is a general purpose classification suitable for cable and distribution circuit protection. For dedicated motor branch circuit protection, Class gM or aM (motor-rated) fuses are typically specified to handle motor inrush currents without nuisance tripping. However, this fuse can be used in the main supply circuit feeding an MCC or distribution board. Contact Shansen Enterprises for guidance on the correct fuse class for your specific motor protection requirement.
What is the breaking capacity of the 2HO7-660 and is it adequate for industrial panels in India?
The Eaton Bussmann 2HO7-660 has a breaking capacity of 80kA, which is sufficient for the prospective short circuit currents encountered in the majority of Indian industrial and commercial LV installations. Panel designers should verify the prospective short circuit current (PSCC) at the point of installation — if the PSCC exceeds 80kA, a fuse with a higher breaking capacity must be selected.
