FAQs
The XS40 fits standard 27 × 80 mm fuse holders used in many BS88 IEC 60269 compliant assemblies. Ensure your carrier is rated for 40 A and AC 440 V and that the holder accommodates gL/gG general-purpose fuses. When replacing, verify the same frame size, circuit rating, and compatibility with your panel's labeling and documentation.
Key specs include a 40 A current rating, AC 440 V operating voltage, and a gL/gG general-purpose fuse type. Use XS40 for general protection in industrial control circuits, panel feeders, and motor control lines where BS88 IEC 60269 compliance and reliable interrupting behavior are required.
Yes. The 40 A rating with gL/gG characteristics supports protection of motor feeders and related circuits. Its BS88 IEC 60269 alignment ensures standardized performance, while the compact 27 × 80 mm format helps with panel space management and easy integration into motor control centers.
The XS40 carries CE Marking, RoHS compliance, and BS88 IEC 60269 certifications, plus EAC where applicable. These certifications validate regulatory compliance, enable cross-border deployment, and simplify supplier qualifications for OEMs and integrators working on international projects.
The XS40's standardized 27 × 80 mm form factor and broad compatibility reduce spare-part variety and stock levels. Its reliable performance minimizes unplanned downtime, shortens replacement times, and improves overall panel reliability, delivering measurable cost savings over the equipment lifecycle.
