Feature → Business Impact → Application: Time-delay, dual-element Class CF fuse design enables short surges and transient inrush events to pass without immediate interruption, reducing nuisance trips and extending motor life in startup-heavy applications. This translates to lower maintenance costs and less downtime in motor control centers and packaging lines where starts-and-stops are frequent. Application: Panelboards and MCCs requiring reliable protection for motors and feeders in manufacturing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 400 A amperage rating provides targeted protection for high-current legs, aligning with 400 A feeders and distribution circuits; results in precise fault-current isolation and minimized collateral damage in power distribution rooms. Application: Industrial feeders and large control panels needing dependable current limiting under fault conditions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 V and 100 kAIC at 300 Vdc delivers high fault-current resilience, reducing arcing and equipment damage; improves reliability in high-energy systems such as presses, conveyors, and CNC machines. Application: High-energy AC and DC distribution where fault energy matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Blade-end connection, finger-safe housing and indicator capability simplify field installation and make routine maintenance safer and faster; reduces training time and human-factor risk in busy panel rooms. Application: Retrofit projects and new panel builds in production lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS compliance and UL Listed certification support procurement compliance and supplier qualification, minimizing risk in regulated industries; combined with the cube fuse form factor, supports modular protection strategies. Application: Engineering specs for regulated facilities and Tier environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact dimensions (3.48 in depth, 4.26 in height, 1.7 in width) and 0.79 lb weight enable easy integration into standard fuse blocks and compact enclosures; reduces panel footprint and shipping costs. Application: Space-constrained electrical cabinets and retrofits in automation projects.

FAQs
TCF400 uses a blade-end connection compatible with Bussmann-series cube fuse assemblies and TCFH400N holders. It features a finger-safe housing, indicating fuse option, and a 3.48 in depth, 4.26 in height, and 1.7 in width footprint that fits common panelboard bays. Installing this fuse in standard enclosures minimizes modification work and accelerates maintenance cycles in control panels and MCCs.
The TCF400 is a time-delay, dual-element Class CF fuse designed to tolerate brief inrush and startup surges while still providing fast fault interruption. This reduces nuisance trips on motors and loads with high inrush, improving uptime and reducing unnecessary replacements. It is well-suited for motor control centers and feeders where startup transients are frequent and predictable.
Yes. The TCF400 is rated for 600 V AC with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating and up to 300 V DC with 100 kAIC, making it appropriate for mixed AC and limited DC applications in industrial power distribution and automated machinery. Always verify site voltage conditions and system fault-current calculations to ensure full compliance with protection coordination requirements.
The TCF400 carries UL Listed certification for safety compliance and RoHS compliance for environmental standards. These certifications support regulatory acceptance, supplier qualification, and reduced risk in regulated industries, enabling easier approval in manufacturing, energy, and automation projects.
Adopting the TCF400 in an MCC upgrade typically yields reduced downtime due to fewer nuisance trips, safer maintenance with indicator status, and easier part replacement thanks to finger-safe design. The 400 A, 600 V rating and high interrupt capability help protect critical equipment, potentially lowering maintenance costs and extending equipment life, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over time.
