Applications & Selection Guide
The CEO32 is well suited for general purpose overcurrent protection in low voltage switchgear panels, motor control centres (MCCs), and distribution boards operating at 415V AC — the standard three-phase supply voltage across Indian industrial and commercial facilities. Its Class gG designation means it provides full-range protection, capable of safely interrupting currents from small overloads all the way up to 80 kA prospective short-circuit currents, making it appropriate for both feeder and final circuit protection duties.
Panel builders and electrical contractors in India typically specify this fuse link for applications such as LV sub-distribution boards in manufacturing plants, feeder protection in power distribution panels, and incomer protection in motor control centres for pumps, compressors, conveyor drives, and HVAC equipment. The A4 BS size and bolted offset tag closed slot format simplify retrofitting into existing BS88-compatible fuse bases without modification.
Industries across Coimbatore and the broader Tamil Nadu region — including textiles, engineering, automotive components, and food processing — rely on BS88 Class gG fuse links like the CEO32 for cost-effective, type-tested protection that meets both domestic and international project specification requirements. Its IEC 60269-2 compliance also makes it suitable for export-oriented projects and facilities requiring internationally certified protection devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the Eaton Bussmann CEO32 fuse link?
Class gG designates a general purpose, full-range fuse that provides protection against both overload currents and short-circuit currents across its entire operating range. Unlike back-up fuses (Class aM), a gG fuse like the CEO32 does not require a separate overcurrent protection device in series — it handles the complete protection duty from small sustained overloads up to the maximum 80 kA breaking capacity on its own, simplifying panel design and reducing component count.
What is the breaking capacity of the CEO32 and why does it matter?
The CEO32 has a breaking capacity of 80 kA. Breaking capacity is the maximum prospective fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupturing, causing arc flash, or damaging connected equipment. In Indian industrial installations where transformer fault levels can be high — particularly close to large distribution transformers — specifying a fuse with an adequate breaking capacity is a critical safety and compliance requirement. The 80 kA rating of the CEO32 satisfies the fault-level demands of most LV distribution applications up to 415V AC.
Is the CEO32 compatible with standard BS88 fuse bases available in India?
Yes. The CEO32 is manufactured to BS88 Part 2 / IEC 60269-2 standards and is sized as A4 with a bolted offset tag closed slot termination. It is dimensionally compatible with standard BS88 A4 fuse bases and holders from Eaton Bussmann and other manufacturers that conform to the same BS88 standard. When retrofitting or replacing fuses, always verify that the fuse base is rated for at least 415V AC and 80 kA breaking capacity to match the fuse link’s ratings.
Can the CEO32 be used for motor circuit protection in motor control centres?
The CEO32 is a Class gG full-range fuse, which provides general purpose protection suitable for feeder and distribution circuits in motor control centres. For direct motor branch circuit protection where high in-rush currents are a concern, a Class aM (motor duty) fuse is typically preferred as it tolerates starting currents without nuisance blowing. However, gG fuses like the CEO32 are widely used on the supply side of motor starters and for incomer protection in MCCs across Indian industrial plants. Consult Shansen Enterprises for application-specific selection guidance.
What standards and certifications does the Eaton Bussmann CEO32 comply with?
The CEO32 complies with BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2, which are the primary international standards governing low voltage fuse links for general applications. It is also CE marked, indicating conformity with applicable European Union directives, and is RoHS compliant, confirming it is manufactured without restricted hazardous substances. The product is IEC rated, providing assurance of type-tested performance verified against international standards — a requirement for many industrial, infrastructure, and export-oriented projects in India.
