The 400 A amperage rating provides strong overload protection for high-current circuits, reducing conductor damage and downtime when faults occur. This current-limiting capability minimizes arc energy while preserving downstream equipment, delivering measurable improvements in system reliability and maintenance costs in motor drives and power distribution applications. The impact is immediate in line protection for VFDs, where controlled interruption limits wear on cables and drives while meeting industry standards for continuity of operations. The device’s interruption rating of 20 kAIC at 160 Vdc and 200 kAIC at 300 Vac means it can absorb high-energy short circuits without nuisance faults, improving system availability and safety in DC bus and AC control circuits. Installation is simplified by bolted blade ends, enabling secure, vibration-resistant mounting in standard panels and fuse blocks. The Class T, non-indicating design reduces panel clutter and provides predictable, proven protection for conventional control circuits. RoHS and CE compliance streamline qualification for EU facilities, accelerating project timelines and reducing regulatory risk. With a compact 2.75 in length, 1 in width, and 0.25 lb weight, it fits neatly into space-constrained enclosures, aiding in efficient panel design and retrofits. Compatibility with Bussmann full-line catalogs ensures easy sourcing and standardized protection across installations, while the standard packaging supports straightforward stocking and turnover in procurement workflows.

FAQs

When installing the JJN-400, ensure bolted blade end connections are clean, aligned, and torqued to the panel manufacturer’s specifications to avoid loose contacts. Use compatible fuse blocks or holders, verify the 2.75 in length and 1 in width fit within available space, and confirm electrical ratings (300 Vac / 160 Vdc) align with the system’s supply. Proper labeling and documentation help with maintenance and regulatory traceability.
The JJN-400 offers a 400 A amperage rating and current-limiting behavior, ideal for protecting VFD inputs and drive lines. It provides 20 kAIC at 160 Vdc and 200 kAIC at 300 Vac, with a voltage rating of 300 Vac and 160 Vdc. The fuse uses bolted blade ends for secure mounting, making it reliable in high-energy, space-constrained drive panels.
Yes. The JJN-400 is CE Marked and RoHS Compliant, which supports regulatory acceptance in EU markets. These certifications indicate conformance with essential environmental and safety requirements, helping speed approvals for equipment that incorporates the fuse within electrical protection systems.
Absolutely. The JJN-400 is designed with bolted blade end x bolted blade end connections, enabling straightforward panel mounting in standard fuse blocks. The 2.75 in length and 1 in width support compact installation in control cabinets, and the non-indicating design simplifies layout while enabling easy field replacement without complex wiring.
Adopting the JJN-400 contributes to lower downtime through fast, reliable interruption during faults, reducing repair costs and unplanned outages in drives and critical loads. Its robust energy-handling (20 kAIC / 160 Vdc, 200 kAIC / 300 Vac) minimizes arc damage, while CE/RoHS compliance streamlines regulatory clearance and procurement from the Bussmann catalog, delivering predictable maintenance budgets and better total cost of ownership.
