The Gould A4BY1000 is a Class J, 1000A, 600V time delay fuse and requires a Class J–rated fuse holder or disconnect to install correctly — Class J fuses feature a rejection-style blade configuration that prevents substitution with lower-rated classes. Compatible holders include Class J fusible disconnects and safety switches from manufacturers such as Gould/Ferraz Shawmut, Eaton/Bussmann, and Square D, rated for 1000A and 600V AC.

The A4BY1000 is a Class J fuse, which requires a Class J–rated fuse holder or fusible disconnect rated for at least 1000A and 600V. Class J holders have a rejection feature that physically prevents installation of non-Class J fuses, so standard Class H or K holders will not accept this fuse.
The Gould A4BY series fuses are considered obsolete/discontinued under the current Ferraz Shawmut (now Mersen) product line.

Yes. The A4BY1000's time delay characteristic makes it well suited for motor branch circuit protection, as it can ride through the normal inrush current during motor startup without nuisance blowing, while still providing fast response to short-circuit faults. Always verify the fuse ampere rating against the motor FLA and applicable CEC requirements for your installation.
