Cooper Bussmann BP/ABC-20 Ceramic Fuse 20A 250V 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/ABC-20 is a Type ABC fast-acting ceramic tube fuse rated at 20 amps and 250 volts, sold in a convenient 2-pack. The ceramic tube body provides reliable overcurrent protection and handles the high inrush current demands common in household appliance circuits. Each fuse measures 1/4 inch in diameter by 1-1/4 inches in length, the standard small-dimension form factor recognized across the electrical trades. This fuse is designed for quick replacement by appliance technicians and electricians working on residential equipment that requires dependable short-circuit and overload protection.

This fuse is primarily used in microwave oven applications, where fast-acting response is critical to protecting internal components from damaging overcurrent events. The Type ABC designation identifies it as a standard glass or ceramic cartridge fuse conforming to widely accepted dimensional standards, making it a common replacement item in residential service calls. The carded retail packaging makes it practical for both shop stock and field carry. Appliance repair technicians and licensed electricians will encounter this fuse specification frequently in residential kitchen appliance service.

Installation Notes

Fuse replacement should be performed by a qualified appliance technician or licensed electrician. Always disconnect the appliance from its power source and discharge any capacitors before accessing the fuse holder, as microwave oven capacitors can retain dangerous voltage even after the unit is unplugged. Verify the root cause of the blown fuse before installing a replacement, as repeated fuse failure indicates an underlying fault. Work in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local codes.
