Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Bussmann 45 Amps Dual Element Time Delay Fuse 2 pk is purpose-built for motor control centers, delivering dependable protection for motor circuits while accommodating the inrush that comes with starting large loads. Designed for panels and feeders in industrial environments, this fuse combination helps you keep downtime to a minimum without sacrificing safety or reliability.

Why this matters in real-world MCC setups

  • Inrush-friendly protection: The dual element design combines fast response for faults with a time-delay characteristic that tolerates the surge when motors start, reducing nuisance trips during startup.
  • Reliable MCC protection: With a dedicated 45 A rating at 250 V, it shields motor feeders and control circuits in industrial panels from both short circuits and overloads.
  • Durable, panel-ready construction: Fiberglass body and brass endcaps resist vibration and provide durable, repeatable connections in demanding environments.
  • Easy stocking and replacement: Two-pack in carded packaging streamlines inventory in maintenance closets and on-site repairs, so you can keep MCCs online with minimal downtime.
  • Compliance you can trust: UL and CSA listings ensure it meets recognized safety and performance standards for industrial electrical systems.

Ideal use scenarios include motor drives, pumps, compressors, conveyors, and any MCC branch circuits where reliable protection is essential and inrush currents are a factor. If you’re upgrading or stocking spare parts for a 250 V MCC environment, this 2-pack from Bussmann delivers the right balance of fast-acting protection and delay tolerance, backed by trusted certification and rugged construction.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
