BUSSMANN SC-15 Fast Acting Fuse, 15 A, 600 VAC/170 VDC, Time Delay

Bussmann SC-15 fuse is used in electrical circuits, industrial machinery, control panels and motor circuits where a compact and reliable overcurrent protection solution is needed. This fuse safeguards electrical components and systems from overloads and short circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What factors should I consider while choosing a midget fuse?

A.

• Match the fuse's current rating with the circuit's requirements.
• Ensure that the fuse can handle the circuit's voltage level.
• Select a fuse with an interrupt rating suitable for potential fault currents.
• Choose between fast-acting and time-delay fuses based on circuit characteristics.

Q. How do you test a fuse without a fuse tester?

A. To test a fuse, use wire strippers to remove approximately an inch of insulation from both ends of the wire. Attach one wire end to a fuse terminal and the other wire end to the opposite terminal on the fuse. If the fuse is operational, the light bulb will illuminate. Conversely, if the fuse is defective, the light bulb will not light up.

Q. Can fuses be used over the years without any replacement?

A. Fuses deteriorate over time and will ultimately stop functioning. A fused-out condition doesn't invariably indicate equipment malfunction. However, refrain from persistent fuse replacement if it blows out immediately after replacement.

Q. What does Class SC in fuse mean?

A. Class SC fuses exhibit size-rejecting characteristics concerning their total length, effectively preventing over fusing situations.

Q. How do I install this fuse?

A.

• Align the fuse with the designated fuse holder or block.
• Insert the fuse pins into the corresponding slots or sockets.
• Rotate the fuse gently in the direction indicated by the bayonet design until it locks into place with a click.
• Ensure that the fuse is securely seated and cannot be pulled out easily.
• To remove the fuse, reverse the twisting motion and gently pull it out of the holder.
• Always ensure that the power is disconnected before installing or removing the fuse to prevent electrical hazards.

Q. What safety precautions should I take while using this Bussmann SC-15 fuse?

A.

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) while handling electrical components.
• Consider the correct fuse type, voltage and current rating required for the application.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and replacement.
• Avoid exceeding the fuse's voltage or current ratings to prevent overheating and hazards.
• Regularly inspect and test the fuse to ensure proper functionality.
