The Gould J426 is a Class J fuse reducer that steps a 400A fuse holder down to accept a 200A fuse, rated at 600V. It is designed to fit Class J fuse holders and pullout-style fusible disconnect switches rated at 400A, allowing the installation of a 200A Class J fuse without replacing the holder itself. This makes it a cost-effective solution for retrofitting existing fuse blocks in commercial and industrial panelboards and disconnect enclosures. Send us your holder or disconnect model and we'll confirm fitment.
The Gould J426 reducer is installed inside a 400A Class J fuse holder or fusible disconnect to allow a smaller 200A Class J fuse to seat correctly and make proper contact. It's commonly used when load requirements have decreased and you need to derate a circuit without replacing the entire fuse block or disconnect assembly.
Gould's fuse product line has transitioned through several brand changes over the years (Gould → Shawmut → Mersen). The J426 may be discontinued or difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find electrical components — contact one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for current stock availability or a direct replacement recommendation.
The reducer itself is rated at 600V, consistent with Class J fuse ratings. However, the overcurrent protection and interrupting rating are governed by the 200A Class J fuse you install, not the reducer. Always ensure the fuse installed in the reducer is appropriately rated for your circuit's available fault current and voltage. Consult your system engineer or contact us if you have questions about your specific application.
