The Bussmann BP/MDL-6 is a time-delay glass tube fuse designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. This 2-pack provides reliable circuit protection for industrial, commercial, and residential applications including power supplies, motor starters, lighting circuits, and control cabinets. The time-delay (slow-blow) design allows temporary surge currents during equipment startup without nuisance interruption, while still protecting against sustained overloads that could damage components.
Glass tube construction with plated brass end caps enables quick visual inspection of the fuse element to verify integrity and simplify troubleshooting. The compact 1/4" × 1-1/4" size fits seamlessly into standard fuse holders and panels, making replacement straightforward. With two fuses in the pack, you'll have a spare on hand to minimize downtime and maintain continuous operation of critical equipment.
