Eaton TC80 Fuse - British Standard gL/gG, 80A
Part Number: TC80
Quick Summary
The Eaton TC80 fuse is a low-voltage British Standard device that protects distribution circuits in industrial control panels. Engineers often struggle to select fuses that meet BS88 standards while maintaining compact footprints and predictable coordination with upstream protection. Key references include BS88 British Standard compatibility, UKCA declarations, and the gL/gG characteristics that define its fast-acting and general-purpose protection modes. With an 80 A rating and the 26x137 mm form factor, the TC80 delivers reliable protection without occupying valuable panel space. This combination reduces downtime, simplifies spare inventories, and supports standardised protection across modular power distributions.

FAQs
The TC80 uses the standard 26 x 137 mm BS88 footprint, designed to fit common Bussmann/BS88 fuse holders and panel cutouts. This ensures straightforward retrofits and consistent compatibility across Eaton Bussmann low-voltage fuse installations in control cabinets and distribution boards.
TC80 is rated for 80 A, with AC operation up to 660 V and DC operation up to 350 V. This makes it suitable for protection of depot and production line feeders, motor drives, and panel circuits that require BS88-compliant protection with clear short-circuit and overload response.
Yes. The TC80 supports DC operation up to 350 V, enabling protection for DC-powered drives and control circuits. Ensure coordination with upstream protection and consider system voltage levels and fault current when selecting the fuse rating.
The TC80 is aligned with BS88 British Standard requirements, and Eaton provides UKCA declarations for regulatory compliance in the UK. These certifications support procurement audits and safety approvals for panel assemblies and distribution networks.
Using the TC80 standardizes protection across BS88 panels, reducing spare variety and simplifying stocking. The predictable response to overload and short-circuit events helps minimize downtime and maintenance costs, delivering quicker fault isolation and system recovery in production environments.
