Eaton Specification Sheet - BG3023B
BG3023B offers a 1–20 A amperage range in a compact three-pole block with box-lug terminals. This flexibility reduces the number of device variants you must stock, delivering measurable savings on spares and procurement cycle times. It is ideally applied in machine panels and distribution boards where compact space, clean wiring, and fast protection setup are critical—think packaging lines, CNC enclosures, and robotics cabinets. The three-pole configuration allows synchronized protection across three phase conductors, simplifying wiring schemes and reducing installation errors.\n\nWith a 100 kA short-circuit rating at 600 V, the BG3023B tolerates high fault currents, enhancing system safety and minimizing fuse changes during faults. The box-lug termination supports reliable, vibration-resistant wire connections that stay secure through equipment vibrations common in manufacturing environments. Its rugged construction and RoHS compliance also align with lean manufacturing goals, helping you pass audits with fewer exceptions. This combination translates into faster commissioning, reduced field service time, and lower maintenance costs over the equipment lifecycle.\n\nRoHS compliant and UL Recognized with CSA Certification, BG3023B meets essential regulatory requirements across global sites. The 3x3 inch footprint and 0.5 inch height fit slim cabinet layouts, while the 0.224 lb weight eases handling during installation and retrofit. The Class G rating and box-lug connection simplify adherence to electrical protection standards and wiring safety practices, reducing the risk of miswiring and improving overall electrical reliability. In addition, the catalog entry BG3023B helps standardize procurement and support across multiple OEMs.\n\nIndustry insight: open fuse blocks in the BG family are favored for modular power protection in retrofit projects where minimizing panel changes is critical. Eaton Bussmann's extensive catalog and datasheets—supported by UL, CSA, and RoHS compliance—enable fast specification, quick sourcing, and consistent performance. Operators benefit from improved uptime, predictable protection margins, and a clear path to compliance in both North American and international installations. This makes BG3023B a compelling option for OEMs migrating from generic fuse blocks to standardized protection modules.

FAQs
BG3023B uses box-lug terminations in a three-pole arrangement designed for panels up to 600 V and 100 kAIC fault current. Ensure wiring uses appropriate conductor insulation, comply with UL/CSA mounting guidelines, and secure the device in a capable chassis or cabinet. The 3x3 in footprint and 0.5 in height support compact panel layouts, while maintaining safe, vibration-resistant connections in typical industrial environments.
The BG3023B supports a 1–20 A amperage range, a 100 kA short-circuit rating, and a 600 V voltage rating. It is a three-pole, box-lug open fuse block with Class G designation. These ratings make it suitable for medium-scale industrial protection in automation, machinery, and distribution panels demanding reliable fault handling and clear protection margins.
BG3023B is RoHS compliant and UL Recognized with CSA Certification, which supports regulatory compliance and reliability in many industrial settings. While there is no explicit IP rating provided, its boxed lug design and robust Bussmann BG series lineage make it a practical choice for standard control panels, automation cabinets, and machine builds that require dependable protection and straightforward wiring within typical workshop or factory environments.
BG3023B carries RoHS compliance, UL Recognized status, and CSA Certification, aligning the product with global safety and environmental requirements. These certifications facilitate cross-border procurement, simplify audits, and help ensure consistent performance across North American and international installations in industrial protection applications.
Using BG3023B offers standardization across panels with a fixed three-pole configuration, reducing part variety and spare parts inventory. The 1–20 A range, 600 V rating, and 100 kAIC fault tolerance support reliable protection with fast commissioning, minimizing downtime. Its RoHS, UL, and CSA certifications streamline compliance, while the compact footprint and box-lug wiring simplify installation and retrofit projects for OEMs and end users.
