The TCP40A combines a robust general-purpose fuse design with a compact 23x109 mm footprint, delivering easy retrofits and reduced panel crowding. This feature provides a clear business impact: faster installation times and lower field labor costs, enabling quicker project turnover in industrial environments. The 40 A rating with AC 660 V and DC 460 V support aligns with common control circuits and conveyor systems, improving protection without compromising performance in mixed-voltage applications. The gL/gG fuse type enhances selectivity and coordination in legacy and modern switchgear, resulting in fewer nuisance trips and safer shutdowns during fault conditions. With CE and RoHS compliance, plus BS88 IEC 60269 and EAC certifications, the TCP40A meets rigorous industry standards, aiding procurement and reducing compliance risk. The standardized 23x109 mm size simplifies spares management and stock rationalization, while the no-warranty stance is offset by Eaton’s reputation for reliability and consistent support.

FAQs
TCP40A uses a compact 23x109 mm form factor and gL/gG type construction, enabling straightforward retrofit into BS88 panels. Ensure compatible mounting hardware and clearance for the 23 mm width and 109 mm depth, and verify alignment with existing protection schemes to maintain proper coordination and selectivity in your control system.
The TCP40A is rated 40 A with AC 660 V and DC 460 V, designed for low voltage circuits in industrial control and distribution applications. It supports standard control panels, machine protection circuits, and mixed-voltage environments where BS88 IEC 60269 compliance and reliable overcurrent protection are required.
Yes. The TCP40A is CE marked and RoHS compliant, with IEC BS88 and IEC 60269 listings, and additional regional certifications such as EAC where applicable, ensuring regulatory alignment across multiple markets and simplifying global procurement.
By delivering reliable overcurrent protection with a standardized, replaceable 23x109 mm fuse, TCP40A minimizes nuisance trips and speeds maintenance. The clear labeling and compatibility with gL/gG type protection streamline sourcing of spares and reduce panel downtime during fuse changes.
Key documentation includes the CA134002EN catalog and declarations of conformity such as CE Redspot fuse-links PDFs. These resources confirm compliance, voltage ratings, and installation guidelines, helping engineers verify suitability before retrofits or new panel designs.
