Applications & Selection Guide
The Eaton Bussmann DD200 is intended for general purpose overcurrent and short-circuit protection in low voltage electrical installations operating at 415V AC — the standard system voltage across Indian industrial and commercial facilities. Its 200A rating and 80 kA breaking capacity make it suitable for incomer and feeder protection in main distribution boards, sub-distribution panels, and motor control centres where high fault levels are anticipated.
As a Class gG fuse link, the DD200 provides full-range protection, meaning it is designed to safely interrupt currents from minimum fusing current up to its rated breaking capacity. This makes it appropriate for protecting cables, busbars, transformers, and general load circuits rather than semiconductor or motor-specific applications which would require Class aM or semiconductor fuses. Engineers specifying fuses for LV switchgear in India should confirm the prospective short-circuit current at the installation point does not exceed 80 kA.
Industries across India that commonly deploy BS88 Class gG fuse links at this rating include automotive manufacturing plants, textile mills, steel and foundry facilities, pharmaceutical production units, water treatment infrastructure, and commercial building distribution systems. The bolted type construction of the DD200 is particularly preferred in high-vibration environments and in installations where panel builders require a mechanically secure, low-impedance fuse connection. Shansen Enterprises supplies this product to customers across Coimbatore, Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, and all major industrial hubs in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the Eaton Bussmann DD200 fuse link?
Class gG designates a general purpose, full-range fuse that is capable of interrupting all currents from the minimum fusing current up to the rated breaking capacity — in this case 80 kA. The ‘g’ prefix indicates full-range breaking capability and ‘G’ indicates general purpose application, meaning the DD200 is suitable for protecting cables, distribution circuits, and general electrical loads rather than specialist applications such as motor starting or semiconductor protection.
Is the Eaton Bussmann DD200 suitable for use in Indian 415V three-phase LV distribution systems?
Yes. The DD200 is rated at 415V AC, which corresponds directly to the standard three-phase low voltage system used across Indian industrial and commercial electrical installations. It complies with IEC 60269-2 and BS88 Part 2, both of which are widely accepted by Indian utilities, panel builders, and EPC contractors. Always verify that the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation does not exceed the 80 kA breaking capacity of this fuse.
What is the BS Size B2 and why does it matter when selecting a replacement fuse?
BS Size B2 refers to the physical dimensional standard defined under BS88 for bolted-type fuse links. It determines the overall length, blade dimensions, and centre tag configuration, ensuring the DD200 physically fits and electrically mates with fuse bases and carriers designed for the B2 size. When selecting a replacement fuse, always match both the BS size and the tag type — in this case Centre Tag Single Slot — to ensure correct fitment and safe electrical contact.
Can the DD200 be used for motor circuit protection in motor control centres?
The DD200 Class gG fuse can provide upstream or feeder protection in motor control centres, but it is not optimised for direct motor branch circuit protection where high starting current withstand is required. For motor branch circuits, Eaton Bussmann Class aM (motor circuit) fuse links are the appropriate selection, as they are designed to withstand motor inrush currents without operating. The DD200 is best applied as a main incomer or distribution feeder fuse within the MCC panel rather than as an individual motor branch fuse.
What certifications and compliance markings does the Eaton Bussmann DD200 carry?
The DD200 is IEC Rated and tested to BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2. It carries CE marking, confirming conformity with applicable European directives, and is RoHS Compliant, indicating it meets restrictions on hazardous substances. These certifications make it acceptable for both domestic Indian projects and export-oriented installations where international compliance documentation is required by the end customer or EPC contractor.
