The Bussmann BP/S-6-1/4 Type S Time-Delay Plug Fuse is a heavy-duty electrical safety component engineered to protect circuits that experience temporary overloads and surge currents. This plug fuse is ideal for safeguarding motor circuits and equipment that cycles on and off frequently, such as air conditioner and furnace blower systems. The time-delay characteristic allows brief surge currents—such as motor start-up spikes—to pass without nuisance trips, while still delivering reliable interruption when a genuine fault occurs, resulting in fewer unnecessary fuse replacements and enhanced operational safety.
The compact, tamper-proof design features a porcelain base with a body size that prevents interchangeability and dangerous over-fusing. This fuse plugs directly into Type S holders without additional adapters and threads into SA adapters. Its dual-element, spring-loaded construction provides both short-circuit and overload protection in industrial and commercial applications.
