Cooper Bussmann BP/MDL-8 Mdl Glass Fuse 8A 250V 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/MDL-8 is a Type MDL glass tube fuse rated at 8 amps and 250 volts, sold in a 2-pack carded format. It features an electronic time delay characteristic, which allows brief, harmless current surges to pass without blowing the fuse while still protecting against sustained overloads. The fuse body measures 0.25 inches in diameter by 1.25 inches in length, a standard form factor widely used in electronic equipment, instruments, and light commercial control circuits. HVAC technicians, electricians, and electronics service professionals install this type of fuse in low-current protection applications across a range of control panels and devices.

The BP/MDL-8 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where time delay fusing is required to accommodate motor-start inrush or transformer energizing surges. It is a common replacement fuse in control circuit boards, test equipment, and small appliance panels. The carded 2-pack format is practical for field service kits, allowing technicians to carry spares without bulk packaging.

Installation Notes

Fuse replacement should be performed by a qualified technician after de-energizing and locking out the equipment per applicable NEC guidelines. Always replace with a fuse of identical type, amperage, and voltage rating. Never substitute a higher-amperage fuse or use a fuse without the time delay characteristic if one is specified by the equipment manufacturer. Inspect the fuse holder contacts for corrosion or damage before installing the replacement fuse.
