Non-indicating
Time-delay current-limiting design is built into the JDL4 fuse, allowing brief overloads to pass without a trip while still delivering fast fault clearing when needed. This translates to fewer nuisance trips in motor starts and conveyors, improving uptime and productivity in automated lines. It is particularly beneficial in panelboards and control circuits where precise coordination with upstream protective devices is critical, and where an inadvertent shutdown can trigger costly downtime. Compact Edison series form factor and a Class J rating enable easy installation in crowded enclosures. The 2.25 in length and 0.81 in width/height footprint fit standard Bussmann Edison slots, reducing panel modifications and spare parts needs. For engineers, this means faster retrofit projects and predictable replacement intervals, with less downtime during maintenance outages. Key electrical ratings—4 A, 600 V, and 200 kAIC interrupt capacity—provide robust short-circuit protection for demanding industrial loads. The fuse tolerates inrush currents during motor starts while reliably interrupting large faults, enabling safe operation of motor drives, feeders, and power distribution circuits. This combination supports selective coordination strategies and helps meet electrical protection standards in factories and process plants. Certifications and compliance—UL Listed, CSA Certified, CE Marked RoHS Compliant—ease procurement and regulator adherence across regions. Non-indicating operation reduces visual maintenance requirements, while standard packaging of ten units simplifies stocking and warehouse planning. The Edison series compatibility means a consistent protection strategy across Eaton's fuse family, improving reliability and return on investment. Installation and support considerations—the JDL4 integrates with standard Edison holders and panel configurations, with straightforward wiring and mounting. Its lightweight 1 lb weight aids handling in tight spaces, and the included data sheet supports proper sizing and coordination. In practice, this fuse helps OEMs and maintenance teams reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and lower total cost of ownership in industrial environments.

FAQs
The JDL4 is designed for Edison series protection schemes and fits standard Edison fuse holders with a compact 2.25 in length and 0.81 in cross-section. It installs within typical control panel footprints, requiring no special adapters. Use the catalog number JDL4 and follow the Eaton wiring diagram to ensure correct bus alignment, torque settings, and safe termination in 600 V circuits.
Key specs are a 4 A amperage rating, 200 kAIC interrupt rating, and 600 V voltage rating. The time-delay design tolerates inrush while still interrupting higher fault currents quickly. This enables selective coordination with upstream devices and minimizes unnecessary outages in motor drives and feeders.
Yes. The time-delay characteristic allows brief inrush to pass without nuisance tripping, while maintaining reliable fault interruption at higher currents. For motor applications, pair JDL4 with appropriate coordination studies to balance starting torque, protection, and maintainability in panel assemblies.
JDL4 is UL Listed and CSA Certified, with CE Mark and RoHS compliance. These certifications ensure safety and regulatory alignment for North American and international installations, simplify procurement, and support compliant maintenance programs in manufacturing and processing environments.
The fuse’s non-indicating design reduces visual checks, standard packaging of ten units streamlines stocking, and its robust 200 kAIC rating reduces downtime from faults. Combined with compact form and ease of replacement in Edison panels, it lowers maintenance time and spare-part waste, delivering predictable ROI for end users.
