Applications & Selection Guide
The ED355 is intended for general-purpose overcurrent protection in low voltage electrical installations operating at 415 V AC — the standard three-phase supply voltage used throughout India. It is well suited for use in main distribution boards, sub-distribution panels, motor control centres (MCCs), and LV switchgear assemblies where a 355 A, bolted-type fuse is required as the primary or feeder-level protection element.
The Class gG designation means this fuse provides full-range protection — it responds to both sustained overloads and high-magnitude short-circuit faults within a single device. This makes it appropriate where a dedicated backup fuse would otherwise be required, simplifying panel design and reducing component count. The BS Size B4 form factor and bolted connection style align with widely used BS88 fuse bases and carriers available from Eaton and compatible manufacturers.
In the Indian industrial context, the ED355 is commonly specified for panel builders and OEMs in sectors such as cement, steel, textile, chemicals, water treatment, and heavy engineering — industries concentrated in and around Coimbatore, Chennai, Pune, and other manufacturing hubs. It is also used in commercial infrastructure projects, data centre power distribution, and utility substation LV boards where IEC-rated, high-breaking-capacity fuses are mandated by project specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Class gG rating mean for the ED355 fuse link?
Class gG indicates that the ED355 is a full-range general-purpose fuse capable of safely interrupting all overcurrents from the minimum fusing current up to the maximum breaking capacity of 80 kA. This means it protects against both sustained overloads and high-level short-circuit faults without requiring a separate backup fuse, making it a versatile choice for LV distribution and motor circuit protection in industrial installations.
Is the Eaton Bussmann ED355 suitable for 415 V three-phase systems used in India?
Yes. The ED355 is rated at 415 V AC, which is the standard three-phase line voltage in India. It is fully compatible with Indian industrial supply systems and is commonly used in LV switchgear panels, MCCs, and distribution boards operating on 415 V, 50 Hz three-phase power. Its IEC 60269-2 and BS88 Part 2 compliance aligns with specifications typically required by Indian electrical contractors and EPC companies.
What is the breaking capacity of the ED355 and why does it matter?
The ED355 has a breaking capacity of 80 kA. Breaking capacity (also called interrupting rating) is the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupturing or causing a hazard. A high breaking capacity like 80 kA ensures the fuse can handle severe short-circuit conditions that occur close to the source transformer, protecting the panel, cables, and downstream equipment from catastrophic damage during fault events.
What fuse base or carrier is compatible with the ED355 bolted-type fuse link?
The ED355 is a BS Size B4 bolted-type fuse link with a centre tag single slot configuration. It requires a compatible B4-rated BS88 fuse base or carrier designed for bolted-type fuse links at 415 V AC. Eaton Bussmann manufactures matching fuse bases and carriers for the TSK/TSM series. Please contact Shansen Enterprises with your panel layout details and we will help confirm the correct matching base or carrier for your application.
Does the ED355 carry CE marking and RoHS compliance?
Yes. The Eaton Bussmann ED355 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, confirming it meets European safety and environmental directives. It is also IEC rated per IEC 60269-2, making it accepted under international procurement specifications and suitable for projects that mandate environmentally compliant components. These certifications are verifiable through Eaton’s official documentation, which Shansen Enterprises can provide upon request.
