The Bussmann BP/FNM-12 is a time-delay cartridge fuse designed to provide supplemental protection for industrial, commercial, agricultural, and HVAC equipment. This slow-blow fuse allows temporary electrical surges to pass through without interrupting power, making it ideal for circuits with motors, transformers, and other inductive loads that draw high inrush currents during startup. By preventing nuisance trips during normal operational surges, it reduces downtime and maintenance costs while keeping your equipment running reliably.
Used to protect control circuit wiring, motor control transformers, and small motors, the BP/FNM-12 is a trusted choice for electricians and maintenance professionals who need dependable circuit protection. Its compact cartridge design fits easily into standard fuse holders and panel spaces, and the convenient two-pack format provides a ready-to-install pair for quick replacements and simplified inventory management.
