Meet the Bussmann 10 Amps Dual Element Time Delay Fuse (2 pk) — a purpose-built solution for motor control centers that demands dependable protection with minimal nuisance trips during startup. This two-pack delivers fast-acting overload protection paired with a forgiving time-delay profile, specifically designed to handle the inrush currents common in motor circuits without compromising safety or component life.
Why this fuse stands out in motor control environments
-
Dual element time-delay design — engineered to tolerate brief startup surges while still interrupting faults, making it ideal for motors, pumps, and other inductive loads typical in MCCs.
-
Copper endcaps and tube — copper construction provides robust electrical contact and efficient heat dissipation, contributing to reliable performance in demanding panel environments.
-
UL and CSA listed — certified compatibility with stringent safety and electrical standards, helping you meet code requirements with confidence.
-
250 V rating — suitable for common control center and industrial circuits where higher-voltage protection is needed.
-
Compact, standard form — 0.56" diameter and 2" length fit conventional fuse clips and holders, simplifying replacement and stocking.
-
Two-pack, carded packaging — convenient for inventory management and quick deployment in service calls or panel upgrades.
What’s inside and how it works
-
Product type: Dual Element Time Delay Fuse — a slow-blow profile that accommodates short-term overloads without failing, preserving motor control circuit integrity.
-
Amp rating: 10 A — precise protection that guards wiring, control relays, contactors, and downstream components from overcurrent events.
-
Voltage: 250 V — appropriate for typical MCC and industrial control panel voltages.
-
Construction: Copper endcaps and copper tube for low resistance and stable performance under load.
-
Package: 2 fuses per carded package for easy stocking and quick swaps during maintenance.
Ideal use cases and who benefits most
- Motor control centers in manufacturing lines, conveyors, fans, and pumps where startups generate brief inrush current.
- Industrial automation panels that require reliable protection without nuisance blows during startup sequences.
- Service technicians and maintenance teams seeking quickly replaceable, code-compliant fuses that ship as a convenient two-pack.
Practical tips for optimal performance
- Match the fuse rating to the motor’s full-load amperage and inrush characteristics to balance protection with operational continuity.
- Keep the 2-pack on hand in carded packaging to ensure fast replacements during scheduled maintenance or after a fault event.
- When replacing, inspect adjacent components (wiring, relays, and contactors) for signs of overcurrent damage and address root causes to prevent recurring trips.
The Bussmann 10 Amps Dual Element Time Delay Fuse 2 pk combines robust copper construction, trusted safety listings, and a practical size to deliver reliable motor protection in demanding MCC environments.
