Bussmann series fuses play a major role in industrial or commercial facilities by providing reliable, maximum protection to power systems. Their physical size or rejection features prevent replacing a fuse with one from another fuse class. This helps ensure the correct replacement fuse is always installed and the voltage and interrupting ratings remain the same.
the Power of Space
The revolutionary BussmannTM series Low-PeakTM CUBEFuseTM delivers the smallest footprint compared to any Class CC, J or RK fuse solution — requiring up to 70% less space when combined with its unique fuse holder or UL® 98 Listed Compact Circuit Protector switch.
Freeing up space is powerful. And the CUBEFuse does just that, while packing up to a 300 kA interrupting rating and enabling higher equipment short-circuit current rating (SCCR).

Bussmann’s® CUBEFuse™ offers cutting-edge circuit protection for data centers, ensuring safety and efficiency in high capacity environments. With its compact design, high SCCR, and selective coordination capabilities, the CUBEFuse™ safeguards against high fault currents, optimizing operational reliability and minimizing downtime. Ideal for advanced processors and critical power applications.
Leveraging our ultimate protection fuses, the Bussmann Low-Peak™ Upgrade program couples the industry's most advanced circuit protection with our extensive technical knowledge to deliver enhanced safety, improved system reliability and simplified inventory.
Eaton Bussmann's Air Conditioning Disconnects (ACDs) offer an industry-leading line of HVAC disconnects that can simplify the safety installation and maintenance of your air conditioning unit. With multiple mounting options, enclosures with ample wiring space, and a visible means of disconnect, these devices can make your life easier and provide peace of mind.
In 2019, we launched the 200 and 400 amp Compact Circuit Protector with CUBEFuse, but quickly pulled the 400 amp version back and didn't relaunch it until just this October. Our Power of space sample kits in the field still contain the original 400 amp CCP, and we've mentioned that the official version has changed slightly. You asked what specifically changed and why.
The Bussmann series FuseFinder app identifies products through the use of an extensive text-based cross reference and part search database, consisting of over 300,000 cross reference parts, as well as through the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read part numbers from product labels using a device’s camera.
The Bussmann™ series Quik-Spec™ Power Module Switch is an all-in-one elevator disconnect switch available in configurations to meet virtually any single elevator shutdown and disconnect requirement.

Fuseology is the study of the fuse’s fundamental operating principles. These include the ratings and operating characteristics that make the fuse an efficient overcurrent protective device (OCPD) as well as its construction that creates its unique leadership role in circuit protection. In the simplest terms, a fuse is an overcurrent protective device with a circuit-opening fusible part that is heated and severed by the passage of overcurrent through it. A fuse is comprised of all the parts that form a unit that can perform these functions. It may or may not be the complete device necessary to connect it into an electrical circuit. Electrical distribution systems can be simple or complicated. Regardless, they cannot be absolutely fail-safe and are subject to destructive overcurrent events such as overloads, ground faults or short-circuits. Harsh environments, general deterioration, damage (whether accidental or from natural causes), excessive electrical system expansion or overloading are common factors leading to overcurrent events. Reliable OCPDs like the fuse shown in Figure 1 prevent or minimize costly damage to transformers, conductors, motors and many other components and loads that make up a complete power distribution system. Reliable circuit protection is also essential to electrical safety for personnel as well as avoiding severe monetary losses from power blackouts or prolonged facility downtime.
