Eaton Specification Sheet - ACL-30
Feature: 30 A amperage rating with dual elements. Business Impact: Provides robust overcurrent protection for DC circuits in material handling equipment, reducing the risk of costly motor or charger damage and enabling predictable downtime. Application: Forklift power circuits and battery charging stations benefit from precise current limiting and fault containment. Feature: Stud mounting and compact footprint (2.5 in length, 0.56 in width, 0.56 in height). Business Impact: Easier installation in tight electrical panels, faster serviceability, and lower panel redesign costs. Application: Space-constrained industrial controls and control cabinets in warehouses and manufacturing cells. Feature: Dual elements. Business Impact: Improved reliability and continuity of protection; if one element degrades, the other helps maintain circuit safety. Application: High-cycle DC environments like fork lift traction and fast-charging stations. Feature: Special features noted as Non time-delay, Type B. Business Impact: Immediate overcurrent protection suitable for steady-state DC loads; mitigates nuisance delays in controlled circuits. Application: Systems where fast fuse action is preferred for safety and protection of DC distribution. Feature: Compatibility with Bussmann series ACL catalogs and mounting methods. Business Impact: Streamlined procurement and spare-part planning; reduces inventory variety while maintaining proven protection. Application: Replacement strategies in fleets and service depots; cross-compatibility with existing ACL-30 stock and datasheets.

FAQs
To install the ACL-30, mount the fuse to a sturdy electrical panel using the stud mounting method. Ensure the fuse terminals align with the DC circuit conductors and that the circuit amperage does not exceed 30 A. Use proper torque on mounting hardware and verify clearances to prevent overheating. Replace only with an ACL-30 from the same Bussmann series to maintain protection integrity.
The 30 A rating indicates the current the fuse is designed to carry continuously under normal operation. It protects DC supply lines from overcurrent conditions that could damage motors, chargers, or wiring harnesses. In forklifts and charger circuits, this rating helps mitigate short-circuit events while accommodating typical inrush and startup currents, reducing false trips when properly sized.
Yes, the ACL-30 is designed for DC protection in battery charging circuits and related forklift applications. With a dual-element design and compatible mounting, it provides dependable overcurrent protection for charging stalls and DC power distribution within the vehicle or charging station. Always verify updated datasheets for your specific charger configuration and ensure the installation meets your plant’s electrical standards.
Certification details can vary by region and catalog release. The current listing notes Not Applicable for compliance, so consult the latest Eaton datasheet or catalog page for UL/CE/IP/SIL references relevant to your market. For regulated environments, confirm with your procurement team and request the official stamped certification documents from Eaton to ensure alignment with your safety and environmental requirements.
Using the ACL-30 fuse simplifies maintenance through a single, replaceable DC protection device with a known 30 A rating and Bussmann series compatibility. This reduces spare parts variety, speeds field service, and minimizes downtime during fault events. The consistent protection across forklift and charger circuits supports longer equipment life and lower lifecycle costs in high-use warehouse environments.
