Application and fuse sizing guidelines Individual lighting ballast protection recommendation
CUBEFuse sizing guide Bussmann provides in-line fuses/holders for the specific purpose
of isolating individual luminaires when an internal fault occurs.
The time-delay CUBEFuses permit closer fuse sizing than non-time See example in Figure 8. If a ballast fails, the low amp rated
delay fuses for loads with inrush currents such as transformers or in-line fuse quickly opens without opening the branch circuit
across the line AC motors. The CUBEFuse has excellent current- overcurrent protective device or the service ground fault protection,
limiting characteristics (UL Class J) which results in superior short- and therefore isolates just the one faulted luminaire. The other
circuit protection for circuit components and outstanding arc flash luminaires on the lighting branch circuit remain in operation. The
hazard mitigation when the arcing current is within the current- GLR/HLR or GLQ/HLQ fuse/holder combination are typically used

fuse (per NEC 210.20(A)) must be sized for the non-continuous load
plus 125% of the continuous load. Most lighting branch circuits are LPJ-200SP

QSCP and Surge Protective Devices

2014 NEC 700.8 requires a listed SPD to be installed in or on all
emergency system switchboards and panelboards.
All configurations of the QSCP intended for installation on an AC
circuit can be ordered with an optional Surge Protective Device to Available with

The factory installed SPDs feature local, visual easyID status

relay for integration into a monitoring system. The relay is rated
at 250Vac/0.5A and 250Vdc/0.1A, 125Vdc/0.2A, 75Vdc/0.5A to
accommodate many signaling needs.
Although a Type 1 SPD may be retrofitted and added externally
to meet the NEC 2014 700.8 or other surge suppression needs,
it is recommended to factory order the SPD to assure correct High SCCR DIN-Rail Type 2 component assembly SPDs are factory

installation.
If an SPD is required after the QSCP is installed (for surface mount
QSCPs only), Bussmann recommends installing the external-mount
Type 1 SurgePOD HEAVY DUTY (50kA surge current capacity
[Imax]), or the Type 1 or Type 2 BSPD (from 120kA up to 400kA surge
current capacity [Imax]) SPDs.
Installation of the externally-mounted SPD is facilitated by using a
CCPB branch disconnect to make the connections to the QSCPs
internal busways. See suggested ampacities in Table A for the SPD
family product being installed.
Care should be taken to order the correct SurgePOD HEAVY DUTY
catalog number or specify the correct BSPD (from the catalog
number system) to match the electrical system type and voltage.
Table A - Circuit breaker and fused switch sizing guide SurgePOD HEAVY DUTY is a Type 1 listed SPD with a 50kA surge
current capacity. Field installed device, does not ship with QSCP.

BSPD includes listed Type 1 or Type 2 SPDs (depending on the

configuration ordered) with surge current capacities from 120kA to
400kA and are configurable for Wye (120/208, 277/480, 600) and
Delta (240, 480, 600) systems. Field installed device, does not ship
