Cooper Bussmann BP/T-20 Type T Plug Fuse 20A 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/T-20 is a Type T time-delay plug fuse rated at 20 amps, sold in a 2-pack carded format. Fusetron-style Type T fuses are designed to handle the brief inrush currents common in motor-loaded circuits while still providing reliable overcurrent protection. The time-delay characteristic prevents nuisance blowing during motor startup without sacrificing fault protection. This fuse fits standard Edison-base fuseholders and is a go-to replacement for residential and light commercial electrical panels and fused disconnects.

Type T plug fuses are used in residential load centers, fused disconnect switches, and older panel configurations where Edison-base fusing is required. The 20-amp rating suits circuits serving motors, appliances, and general branch circuits where inrush tolerance is needed. Electricians and service technicians typically keep these on hand for service calls involving older residential panels or equipment with fused disconnects.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for standard Edison-base Type T fuseholders used in residential and light commercial electrical panels and fused disconnect applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of plug fuses should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements. Always disconnect or de-energize the panel or disconnect before removing or installing a fuse. Confirm the replacement fuse amperage matches the circuit rating — never install a higher-rated fuse than the circuit is designed for. Type T fuses include a rejection feature to prevent installation of non-time-delay fuses in Type T fuseholders.
