Amperage rating of 400 A provides robust protection for large motor loads and feeder circuits; the business impact is a lower risk of contact damage and reduced replacement costs. In practice, this means reliable protection for drives and switchgear in harsh plant environments, with predictable performance during startup transients. Interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 100 kAIC at 450 Vdc enable selective coordination in high-energy circuits; this minimizes collateral damage and simplifies upstream protection schemes. The result is faster fault clearance without unnecessary tripping of adjacent equipment, improving overall line efficiency. Voltage ratings of 600 Vac or less and 450 Vdc or less cover a broad spectrum of industrial controls, from AC motor drives to DC bus feeders. This compatibility reduces the need for multiple fuses in stock and streamlines panel design and procurement. Class J construction paired with Clip-lock mounting delivers quick, secure installation in standard fuse blocks. The design minimizes field adaptation and promotes consistent seating, improving contact reliability and reducing field service time. Melamine tube construction provides arc-quenching properties and mechanical durability in demanding environments, while the non-indicating fuse simplifies maintenance planning. For field teams, the clip-lock and standard packaging support fast replacement during scheduled outages. Certifications include CE Marked, RoHS Compliant, UL Listed, and CSA Certified, supporting regulatory compliance and supplier audits. At 1.55 lb and a compact 2.13 in by 2.13 in cross-section with a 7.5 in height, the DFJ-400 fits compact panels without crowding adjacent components.

FAQs
DFJ-400 is designed for clip-lock Class J fuse blocks, so use only compatible holders and align the fuse orientation with the block's guidance. Ensure seating is complete to avoid arcing. Use proper safety precautions, and replace only with the same DFJ-400 rating; avoid mixing classes or voltages to maintain coordination and warranty.
DFJ-400 provides 400 A nominal amperage with a voltage rating of 600 Vac or less and 450 Vdc or less. Its interrupt ratings are 200 kAIC at 600 Vac and 100 kAIC at 450 Vdc, enabling fast fault clearing while preserving upstream equipment. These ratings support safe operation in motor drives and power panels and help with selective coordination.
Yes. The DFJ-400 carries CE Marked and RoHS compliant labeling, and it is UL Listed and CSA Certified, aligning with common safety and reliability requirements for electrical panels. This combination supports compliance during audits, helps meet tender specifications, and reduces risk when integrating with other certified components in industrial control schemes.
Best suited for motor drives, drives with switchgear, and power distribution panels in manufacturing, process, and packaging environments. The 400 A rating, high interrupt capacity, and clip-lock Class J format simplify replacement in existing Bussmann series installations. It also pairs well with standard panel blocks and provides fast protection against short circuits, helping to prevent equipment damage and unplanned downtime.
Compared with slow-blow fuses, the DFJ-400 is designed for rapid response to short-circuit events, delivering faster fault clearance and tighter protection coordination. This can reduce arc energy and downstream damage, potentially lowering replacement costs over time. While the upfront cost may be similar, the performance benefits in uptime and safety often justify the investment for mission-critical drives and high-inertia loads.
