Cooper Bussmann BP/MDL-15 Glass Tube Fuse 15A 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/MDL-15 is a Type MDL glass tube fuse rated at 15 amps and 32 volts, sold in a 2-pack carded format. This time-delay fuse is designed for electronic equipment and low-voltage control circuits where brief inrush currents are normal during startup. The MDL designation indicates a slow-blow (time-delay) characteristic, allowing momentary overcurrent events without nuisance tripping while still protecting against sustained fault conditions. Licensed electricians and electronics technicians install these fuses in control panels, small appliances, instrumentation, and similar low-voltage applications.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial electronic control circuits operating at 32 volts DC or below. Typical applications include low-voltage control boards, HVAC accessory equipment, small motors with inrush loads, and general electronic instrumentation panels. The 2-pack carded configuration is practical for service technicians who carry spare fuses on the truck or stock a parts inventory at the shop level.

Key Features

• Time-delay (slow-blow) characteristic tolerates momentary inrush current without nuisance opening
• Type MDL glass tube construction allows visual inspection of fuse element
• 15-amp rating for low-voltage electronic and control circuit protection
• Rated at 32 volts for DC and low-voltage AC applications
• Carded 2-pack format convenient for field service inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type MDL glass tube replacement fuse for electronic equipment, low-voltage control circuits, and instrumentation requiring a 15-amp time-delay fuse at 32 volts or below.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before replacing a fuse. Verify the replacement fuse matches the original rating in amperage, voltage, and type designation before installation. Use an appropriately rated fuse puller or insulated tool when extracting fuses from clips or holders. Confirm the root cause of any fuse failure before returning the equipment to service, as a blown fuse typically indicates an underlying fault.
