FAQs
Install the BG3031S by mounting it in the panel, securing it with appropriate hardware, and wiring the #14-10 AWG copper conductors to the screw terminals. Ensure the panel is de-energized during installation, verify 480 V compatibility, and follow standard naming and labeling practices to prevent mis-wires and hot surfaces.
The BG3031S is designed for use with SC fuses. Wire with #14-10 AWG copper, and ensure the fuse type matches the Class G protection rating. This compatibility streamlines spare parts management and supports consistent protection across Eaton Bussmann components.
Key ratings include 25-30A amperage, 100 kAIC interrupt rating, 100 kA short-circuit rating, and a 480 V voltage rating. Certifications include UL Recognized and CSA Certified, with RoHS compliance to meet environmental requirements.
Yes. The BG3031S is a single-pole, Class G open fuse block rated for 480 V, designed for use with SC fuses in industrial panels, switchgear, and control cabinets. Its thermoplastic housing provides durability in harsh environments, while its screw terminals facilitate reliable field wiring.
Maintenance is typically low due to robust insulation, secure screw connections, and high interrupt ratings that minimize fault-related downtime. The standardized SC fuse compatibility reduces spare parts inventory, leading to lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime in production environments.
