Eaton TF160 Low Voltage British Standard Fuse - gL/gG

Part Number: TF160
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
TF160

Quick Summary

TF160 is a high-current, low voltage British Standard fuse designed to protect electrical circuits in industrial control panels. Engineers often battle nuisance trips and mismatched ratings that drive downtime and complicate spare-part planning. This device aligns with the BS88 British Standard family and is supported by UKCA declarations, helping ensure regulatory compliance in UK installations. Its 160 A, 660 V AC and 350 V DC ratings, combined with the gL/gG format, support selective, safe protection across mixed power environments. Use TF160 to streamline procurement, improve uptime, and simplify panel retrofits in automation and motor-control applications.

Feature: 160 A current rating enables robust overload protection for feeder circuits in demanding environments. Business Impact: fewer nuisance trips and increased equipment uptime in critical lines. Application: ideal for industrial control panels and motor-control circuits. Feature: AC 660 V and DC 350 V ratings provide safe operation across mixed power architectures, reducing stocking complexity and the risk of incorrect fusing. Business Impact: faster panel assembly and improved protection against transients in automation gear. Application: suitable for both AC mains and DC control circuits. Feature: gL/gG fuse type conforms to the British Standard BS88 family, delivering selective coordination with upstream and downstream devices. Business Impact: minimized system-wide outages and easier fault isolation. Application: standard choice for modular control architectures. Feature: 34 × 137 mm form factor fits standard BS88 mounting footprints, enabling easy substitution in existing fuse holders. Business Impact: reduced retrofit time and inventory complexity. Application: compatible with center-bolted Red Spot configurations in industrial panels. Feature: UKCA declarations and BS88 lineage support regulatory compliance with auditable traceability. Business Impact: smoother audits and qualification work for spare parts. Application: essential for UK-based installations.Insight: In practice, engineers value a single, clearly documented fuse that covers both AC and DC protection in a compact size. TF160 delivers this combination with predictable performance under fault conditions, improving both safety and productivity across automation deployments.

FAQs

TF160 uses a 34x137 mm BS88 footprint and gL/gG design, making it compatible with standard centre-bolted, Red Spot style fuse holders common in industrial control panels. This allows straightforward substitutions and retrofit compatibility without altering existing mounting hardware.
TF160 is rated for 160 A, with AC voltage up to 660 V and DC voltage up to 350 V. The gL/gG designation supports selective protection in mixed AC/DC environments, enabling reliable fault interruption and downstream protection coordination in panels.
Yes. TF160 belongs to the British Standard BS88 fuse family and Eaton provides UKCA declarations for this product family, helping you meet UK regulatory requirements and facilitating audit readiness for panel builds.
TF160 is ideal for industrial control panels, motor-control circuits, and distribution boards requiring high-current protection. Its 160 A rating, broad AC/DC voltage compatibility, and BS88/UKCA alignment support reliable protection in automation and machinery installations.
As with any protective fuse, TF160 should be replaced after a fault event or scheduled maintenance. Stocking TF160 spares simplifies replacement in BS88-compatible assemblies, and its documented ratings help ensure consistent performance across maintenance cycles.
