Compact Circuit Protector Brochure
Bussmann’s application note brochure explains the Compact Circuit Protectors (CCP2) use and application in equipment such as industrial control panels, industrial machinery and HVAC equipment. The CCP2 is a fusible disconnect switch featuring the industry’s smallest footprint.

The CCP2 is available in three basic variations:
- Class CC fuse
- Class CF CUBEFuse
- UL Supplemental or IEC 10×38
There are many possible considerations for selecting a disconnecting means and overcurrent protection for industrial control panel applications.
The most important considerations depend upon the specific application for initial and possible future installations.
The CCP2 offers:
- Enhanced short-circuit current ratings (SCCR) up to 200kA
- High interrupting ratings (IR), up to 300kA
- Superior component protection
- Improved reliability
- Application flexibility with rotary operators and accessories
- Smaller size compared to traditional rated fusible switches
- Lower cost and similar size compared to equivalent molded case circuit breakers
Features and Benefits of the CCP2
| Attribute | Features | Benefits |

| 3% smaller footprint than equivalent rated industrial molded case circuit breaker up to 100A | ||
| Simpler | All versions | |
| DIN-Rail mounted up to 100A | ||
| Local open-fuse indication | ||
| Load-break disconnect rated | ||
| Lockout/tagout provisions | ||
| Finger-safe – IP20 compliant with 10 AWG or larger conductors | ||
| CCP2-Class CC or CCP2-Class CF CUBEFuse | ||
| UL 98 Listed and cULus to Canadian Standard 22.2 No. 4-04 | Suitable for use on main, feeder, branch and motor circuits | |
| Horsepower rated | ||
| 2- and 3-pole 30A Class CC version and 30 to 400A Class CF CUBEFuse version straight voltage rated up to 600Vac | Suitable for use on any low voltage AC system (solidly grounded, resistance grounded, corner grounded or ungrounded) | |
| 200kA SCCR | Highest possible SCCR | |
| Accepts only Class CC fuses or CUBEFuses | Rejects fuses with lower voltage and interrupting ratings | |
| Excellent current-limiting overcurrent protection | Increased component SCCR combination ratings, helps reduce arc flash hazard | |

| UL | ||
| 30A, 240 Vac or less (voltage and SCCR varies with installed midget fuse) | ||
| UL 508 Listed and cULus manual motor controller | Flexibility of use for IEC applications or UL supplemental protection applications | |
| IEC | ||
| 32A, 690Vac or less (voltage and SCCR varies installed midget fuse) | ||
| IEC 60947-3 AC-23A with 32A Am or 25A gG IEC fuse | ||
| Better | Higher ratings: voltage, interrupting and SCCR | Ease of design, flexibility of use and reduced misapplications |
| Increased component protection | Enhanced safety and equipment SCCR | |
| Accessories – auxiliary contacts, PLC fuse monitor, multi-wire lugs, rotary operators, NFPA 79 handles. | Ease of identification of switch and/or fuse status. Space savings (eliminates separate PDB). Through-door and through-side operation. Code compliance. |
