Eaton SEC40 Edison Fuse for Fluorescent Fixtures - 100 kAIC
Part Number: SEC40
Quick Summary
The Eaton Edison SEC fuse protects fluorescent fixtures and enables reliable overcurrent protection for lighting systems. Where many installations suffer nuisance trips or insufficient fault tolerance in large fixture banks, SEC40 minimizes downtime and service calls. UL Listed, CSA Certified, and RoHS compliant, it meets essential safety and environmental requirements for commercial and industrial spaces. Designed for standard mounting and a compact profile, it supports easy installation, simple stocking, and predictable lifecycle costs. In practice, specifiers appreciate the 40 A rating, 480 VAC compatibility, and 100 kAIC interrupt rating when sizing protective circuits for fluorescent lighting arrays. The glass melamine construction and non-indicating design reduce maintenance complexity in cleanroom and facility environments.

FAQs
SEC40 is designed for fluorescent fixtures and other low-voltage lighting circuits up to 480 VAC. Its standard 2.25 inch length and 0.41 inch diameter fit common fuse holders in industrial luminaires, while the glass-melamine tube provides dependable protection without adding significant mass. This makes it suitable for both retrofit and new-build projects.
SEC40 features a 40 A amperage rating with a voltage rating of 480 VAC and 300 VDC, and a high interrupt rating of 100 kAIC. These specs ensure safe disconnection during short-circuit events, protecting drivers, wiring, and downstream components in busy facilities. The rating supports proper coordination with upstream protective devices.
The SEC40 fuse is UL Listed and CSA Certified and RoHS compliant. These certifications verify safety and regulatory compliance, important for code adherence across commercial and industrial projects. Always verify labeling and ensure the part matches catalog references for your documentation.
Install SEC40 in compatible fuse holders designed for Edison SEC series fuses. Align the glass-melamine tube with the holder, seat securely, and verify continuity across the circuit at 480 VAC. Because the fuse is non-indicating, perform a post-replacement electrical test to confirm restoration of service.
Using SEC40 reduces downtime due to its high interrupt rating and robust construction, lowering maintenance costs in busy lighting environments. RoHS, UL Listed, and CSA Certified labeling streamline procurement and regulatory compliance across sites. Its standard packaging and compact size also improve stocking efficiency and overall total cost of ownership.
