Applications & Selection Guide
The SSD25 is well suited for protecting branch circuits and feeder circuits in low voltage distribution boards and motor control centres operating at 240 V AC. Its Class gG rating makes it appropriate wherever full-range overcurrent protection is required — covering both sustained overloads and bolted short-circuit faults up to 30 kA. The small clip-on E1 format is commonly specified in compact panel assemblies where DIN rail space is limited.
In Indian industrial environments, this fuse link is frequently used in textile machinery panels, pump control boards, HVAC systems, and general factory distribution in sectors such as manufacturing, food processing, and building services. It is equally suitable for commercial and residential distribution boards where IEC-compliant protection is mandated.
When selecting this fuse, confirm that the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation does not exceed 30 kA and that the supply voltage does not exceed 240 V AC. For higher voltage or higher current applications, consider other ratings within the Bussmann SSD series or consult Shansen Enterprises for a full selection review.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the Eaton Bussmann SSD25?
Class gG denotes a general purpose fuse link that provides full-range overcurrent protection, meaning it is rated to clear both overload currents and short-circuit currents up to its maximum breaking capacity of 30 kA. This classification is defined under IEC 60269-2 and BS88 Part 2 and is the standard choice for protecting cables, busbars, and equipment in low voltage distribution systems.
What is the breaking capacity of the SSD25 and why does it matter?
The SSD25 has a breaking capacity of 30 kA. This is the maximum prospective fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupture or dangerous arc flash. When selecting a fuse for your panel, the breaking capacity must be equal to or greater than the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation. If your system fault level exceeds 30 kA, a higher-rated fuse or alternative protective device should be specified.
Is the Eaton Bussmann SSD25 suitable for motor protection applications?
The SSD25 carries a Class gG rating, which is designed for general purpose full-range protection rather than motor back-up protection. For motor circuit protection where a contactor handles overloads and the fuse is used only for short-circuit back-up, a Class aM (motor duty) fuse link is typically preferred. If you are unsure which fuse class is correct for your motor control centre application, contact Shansen Enterprises for technical guidance.
What fuse base or holder is compatible with the SSD25 clip-on fuse?
The SSD25 uses a small clip-on tag type in BS size E1. It is designed to fit fuse bases and carriers specifically rated for the BS88 E1 clip-on format. Eaton Bussmann offers a range of compatible fuse holders and panel-mount bases for this size. Contact Shansen Enterprises with your panel layout details and we can recommend the correct matching holder or carrier from the Eaton range.
Does the SSD25 comply with IEC and CE requirements for use in India?
Yes. The SSD25 is IEC rated to IEC 60269-2 and BS88 Part 2, and carries CE marking along with RoHS compliance. IEC 60269-2 is the internationally recognised standard for low voltage fuse links and is widely accepted by Indian panel builders, OEMs, and facility owners following IS or IEC-aligned electrical standards. The CE mark and RoHS compliance also support export panel applications.
