Applications & Selection Guide
The EITD63 is well-suited for general-purpose circuit protection in low voltage switchgear panels, motor control centres (MCCs), and distribution boards operating on 415V AC three-phase systems — the standard supply voltage across Indian industrial and commercial infrastructure. At 63A, it is commonly selected for feeder circuits, sub-distribution boards, and motor branch circuits where both overload and short-circuit protection are required from a single fuse element.
The Class gG designation means this fuse provides full-range protection: it responds to sustained overload currents as well as high prospective fault currents up to 80 kA, making it appropriate for installations close to distribution transformers or main incomer panels where fault levels are elevated. The BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2 compliance ensures it can be specified by engineers working to both British Standard legacy designs and modern IEC-based panel schemes.
Indian industries that commonly specify BS88 Class gG fuse links of this rating include textile mills, automotive component manufacturers, cement and chemical plants, data centre fit-outs, and commercial building services in Coimbatore, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, and across the country. Panel builders and OEMs sourcing for export-oriented projects will also benefit from the CE marking and RoHS compliance of the EITD63.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Class gG designation mean for the Eaton Bussmann EITD63?
Class gG stands for general-purpose, full-range fuse protection. A gG fuse is designed to protect against both sustained overload currents and high short-circuit fault currents across its full rated current range. The EITD63 will respond to an overload that persists long enough to damage cables or equipment, and will also safely interrupt fault currents up to 80 kA — making it a single-device solution for most LV distribution and motor circuit protection requirements.
Is the EITD63 suitable for motor circuit protection in Indian 415V AC systems?
Yes. The EITD63 is rated for 415V AC, which is the standard three-phase line voltage in India. At 63A, it is appropriate for protecting feeder circuits and motor branch circuits of suitable rating. However, for motor starting applications where high inrush currents are expected, engineers should verify that the fuse time-current characteristic provides adequate starting time without nuisance operation. Eaton Bussmann time-current curves for the EIT series are available — contact Shansen Enterprises for application support.
What fuse base or holder is compatible with the EITD63?
The EITD63 is a BS88 Part 2 fuse link in BS Size A2 with an open slot tag type and bolted connection. It requires a compatible A2-size BS88 fuse base or disconnector designed for the bolted mounting configuration. Eaton Bussmann offers a range of matching fuse holders, carriers, and switch-disconnectors for the A2 size. Contact Shansen Enterprises to confirm the correct matching base for your panel design and we will advise on compatible accessories from the Eaton catalogue.
What is the breaking capacity of the EITD63 and why does it matter?
The EITD63 has a breaking capacity of 80 kA. This is the maximum prospective fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupture or hazard. In installations close to LV distribution transformers or main incomer panels — where prospective fault levels can be high — specifying a fuse with adequate breaking capacity is a critical safety and compliance requirement. The 80 kA rating of the EITD63 is suitable for the vast majority of industrial LV installations in India.
Does the EITD63 carry CE and RoHS compliance certifications?
Yes. The Eaton Bussmann EITD63 is CE Marked, confirming conformity with applicable European directives, and is RoHS Compliant, meaning it is free from restricted hazardous substances. It is also IEC Rated, with performance verified to BS88 Part 2 and IEC 60269-2. These certifications make it suitable for use in panels destined for both domestic Indian installations and export projects requiring European compliance documentation.
