Eaton ACL-40 Fuse - Time-delay, Dual, Stud Mount DC-rated
Part Number: ACL-40
Quick Summary
The Eaton ACL-40 fuse provides time-delay protection for DC forklift and battery charger circuits. Unplanned outages often arise from nuisance trips or inadequate fault protection, complicating maintenance schedules and cutting productivity. While this model lists Not Applicable for warranty and compliances, industry practice still relies on recognized certifications; confirm CE, UL, and regional requirements on Eaton’s official datasheet to ensure regional compliance. For buyers, this fuse’s compact dual-element, stud-mount design translates to straightforward, reliable installation and space-efficient protection in crowded electrical compartments. By matching a 40 A rating with a non current-limiting Type B profile, you gain predictable protection without compromising charging profiles, delivering improved uptime and lower operating costs in heavy-industrial fleets.

FAQs
ACL-40 utilizes a stud mounting method, providing a robust mechanical connection for DC protection in crowded enclosures. The compact 2.5 in length and 0.56 in cross-section help installers fit the fuse in tight spaces while maintaining secure electrical contact. Ensure bolt pattern matches your chassis and use appropriate hardware to maintain clamping force.
The ACL-40 is designed for DC circuits in forklift trucks and battery chargers. It features dual elements and a time-delay profile suitable for charging inrush and fault protection. Always verify voltage ratings and environmental limits from Eaton’s datasheet to match your exact forklift or charger configuration.
Time-delay fuses tolerate short inrush currents typical of charger start-ups, reducing nuisance trips that would interrupt charging. The ACL-40’s 40 A rating and non current-limiting Type B behavior provide continuous protection without misfiring on start-up surges. This supports higher uptime and fewer maintenance interventions in industrial fleets.
Key specs include a 40 A amperage rating, dual-element construction, time-delay (non current-limiting) Type B, DC circuits protection, and a 2.5 in length with a 0.56 in width/height. It uses stud mounting and weighs about 0.6 lb. For exact operating voltage and environmental limits, consult the Eaton specification sheet.
The provided data lists warranty and compliances as Not Applicable. For confirmation of CE, UL, or regional certifications, refer to Eaton’s official datasheet and catalogs. In practice, verify jurisdiction-specific requirements before deployment to ensure regulatory alignment.
