Description
Overview
The Eaton Bussmann CEO100 is a bolted-type, Class gG low voltage fuse link rated at 100A and 415V AC, conforming to BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2. With an 80 kA breaking capacity, it provides reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for LV switchgear, motor control centres, and distribution boards in demanding industrial environments. The A4 BS size and offset tag closed slot design ensure straightforward integration into compatible fuse carriers and switch-fuse units used across Indian panel building applications.

Applications & Selection Guide
The CEO100 is intended for general purpose overcurrent protection in 415V AC three-phase LV installations. Its Class gG rating means it is designed to carry and interrupt currents ranging from overload conditions through to maximum prospective short-circuit currents, making it a complete protection solution rather than a back-up fuse. It is the correct choice when the fuse must protect both the cable and the downstream equipment against all levels of overcurrent without relying on another upstream protective device for overload clearance.
In Indian industrial facilities — including automotive plants, textile mills, chemical process units, and food processing factories around Coimbatore and across Tamil Nadu — this fuse link is commonly specified in main distribution boards, sub-distribution boards, feeder protection circuits, and motor control centre incomer sections operating at the standard 415V, 50 Hz supply. Panel builders and switchgear OEMs working to IEC standards will find the BS88 Part 2 compliance and the A4 bolted form factor directly compatible with widely available fuse carriers from Eaton and other major manufacturers.
When selecting fuse links for motor circuits, verify that the fuse rating accommodates the motor starting current profile; for direct-on-line starters, a Class gG fuse at 100A is typically appropriate for motors up to approximately 37–45 kW at 415V depending on starting conditions. For semiconductor or transformer protection, consider Eaton’s Class aR or Class gR alternatives. Consult the Eaton Bussmann selection guide or contact Shansen Enterprises for application-specific advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the Eaton Bussmann CEO100 fuse link?
Class gG stands for general purpose (g) cable and circuit protection (G) as defined in IEC 60269. A gG fuse provides full-range protection, meaning it is capable of interrupting both small overload currents and high short-circuit fault currents without requiring a separate backup protective device. The CEO100’s Class gG rating makes it suitable for protecting cables, busbars, and equipment in LV distribution and motor control applications at 415V AC.
What is the breaking capacity of the CEO100 and why does it matter?
The CEO100 has a breaking capacity of 80 kA. This is the maximum prospective short-circuit current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupturing or causing collateral damage. In Indian industrial installations close to transformer infeed points or large LV switchboards, fault levels can reach or exceed 50 kA, so specifying a fuse with an 80 kA breaking capacity ensures the protection device will operate safely under worst-case fault conditions and satisfy IS/IEC protection coordination requirements.
Which fuse carrier or fuse base is compatible with the CEO100?
The CEO100 is a BS88 Part 2, BS Size A4 bolted fuse link with an offset tag closed slot. It is designed to fit Eaton Bussmann and other manufacturers’ A4-rated BS88 fuse carriers and fuse bases that accept the bolted tag format. Always verify the fuse base manufacturer’s rated current and voltage to confirm compatibility before installation. Shansen Enterprises can assist with confirming the correct carrier part number for your specific switchgear or distribution board.
Is the Eaton Bussmann CEO100 approved for use in Indian electrical installations?
Yes. The CEO100 conforms to BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2, which are the accepted international standards referenced in Indian electrical installation practice and by many state electricity boards and industrial inspection authorities. It carries IEC certification and is CE Marked and RoHS compliant. For projects requiring specific BIS certification, please consult Shansen Enterprises or Eaton India directly to confirm the applicable certification status for your project.
Can the CEO100 be used for motor circuit protection in a 415V motor control centre?
Yes, the CEO100 at 100A is commonly used for motor feeder and incomer protection in 415V motor control centres. For direct-on-line starting, a 100A Class gG fuse can typically protect motors in the 37–45 kW range depending on full-load current, starting current multiplier, and starting duration. For star-delta or soft-starter applications, the selection criteria differ slightly. Shansen Enterprises can assist with fuse sizing calculations for specific motor loads to ensure correct coordination with contactors and overload relays.
