Applications & Selection Guide
The SSD4 is suited for general purpose overcurrent protection in low voltage electrical installations where a 4A, 240V AC fuse link with a 33 kA breaking capacity is required. Its Class gG rating makes it appropriate for protecting cables, distribution feeders, and branch circuits against both sustained overloads and prospective short-circuit currents in domestic consumer units, industrial distribution boards, and motor control centres.
Panel builders and electrical contractors in India working on LV switchgear assemblies, commercial buildings, factories, and infrastructure projects will find the SSD4 a reliable choice for circuits requiring IEC 60269-2 compliant, BS88-format fuse protection. The E1 small clip-on form factor fits a wide range of standard BS88 fuse bases available in the Indian market.
When selecting this fuse, verify that the fuse holder or carrier is rated for E1 clip-on type links and that the prospective fault current at the installation point does not exceed 33 kA. For higher current ratings or different voltage classes, Shansen Enterprises can recommend the appropriate SSD Series variant from the full Eaton Bussmann range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class gG mean for the Eaton Bussmann SSD4?
Class gG denotes a full-range general purpose fuse link that provides protection against both overload currents and short-circuit currents across its entire operating range. The ‘g’ indicates full-range breaking capacity, and ‘G’ indicates general application, making the SSD4 suitable for cable and circuit protection in distribution boards and switchgear panels as per IEC 60269-2.
What is the breaking capacity of the SSD4, and is it sufficient for Indian LV panels?
The SSD4 has a breaking capacity of 33 kA. For most domestic consumer units and light industrial distribution boards in India operating at 240V AC, this is adequate, as prospective short-circuit currents at these points are typically well below 33 kA. For high fault-level industrial installations, consult your electrical engineer to confirm the prospective fault current before selection.
Which fuse holder or base is compatible with the Eaton Bussmann SSD4?
The SSD4 uses a small clip-on tag in BS Size E1. It is compatible with BS88-compliant E1 clip-on fuse carriers, fuse bases, and DIN-rail mounted fuse holders designed for this form factor. Always verify the fuse carrier’s current and voltage ratings match or exceed the SSD4’s 4A, 240V AC specifications before installation.
Is the SSD4 suitable for motor protection applications?
The SSD4 is a Class gG fuse designed for general purpose circuit and cable protection. While it can be used in motor control centres as a branch circuit protection fuse, it is not a Class aM (motor protection) fuse. For direct motor protection where high inrush current tolerance is required, an aM-class fuse should be considered. Consult Shansen Enterprises for the correct product recommendation for motor applications.
Does the Eaton Bussmann SSD4 comply with Indian electrical standards?
The SSD4 is certified to IEC 60269-2 (equivalent to BS88 Part 2) and is CE marked and RoHS compliant. IEC standards are widely accepted in India for LV electrical installations, and the SSD4 is suitable for use in panels and systems built to IEC specifications across Indian industrial, commercial, and domestic projects.
