Cooper Bussmann BP/SL-15 Type Sl Plug Fuse 15A 3 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/SL-15 is a Type SL plug fuse rated at 15 amps, sold in a 3-pack carded configuration. Type SL fuses are time-delay plug fuses designed to handle the startup surge of motor loads without nuisance blowing, while still protecting against sustained overcurrents. The non-tamper design rejects higher-amperage fuses from being installed in the same socket, a critical safety feature in residential and light commercial panels. Electricians and service techs rely on this style of fuse in older fusebox systems where plug fuses remain the specified protection device.

Type SL plug fuses are used in residential fuse panels, appliance circuits, and light commercial service equipment where Edison-base time-delay fuse protection is required. The non-tamper (Type SL) rejection base prevents overfusing of branch circuits, which is a code-driven requirement in many jurisdictions. This 3-pack format is suited for service vehicles and supply stock where callbacks and repeat replacements are common.

Key Features

• 15-amp Type SL time-delay rating handles motor startup inrush without nuisance opens
• Non-tamper rejection base prevents installation of higher-amperage fuses in the same socket
• 3-pack carded format for convenient stocking on service trucks and in supply rooms
• Compact dimensions: 1.83 inches long x 0.917 inches wide x 0.417 inches tall
• Plug-fuse form factor fits standard Edison-base fuse sockets

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard Edison-base fuse panels and appliance branch circuits requiring Type SL time-delay, non-tamper plug fuses rated at 15 amps.

Installation Notes

Type SL plug fuses are installed and serviced by licensed electricians. Always open the main disconnect and verify the circuit is de-energized before replacing a plug fuse. Non-tamper fuses must match the amperage of the circuit as marked on the panel directory — installing an incorrect amperage rating is a code violation. Work in fuse panels is governed by the National Electrical Code (NEC); consult the applicable local amendments before service.
