Cooper Bussmann BP/T-6-1/4 Type T Plug Fuse 6-1/4A

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/T-6-1/4 is a 6-1/4 amp Type T time-delay plug fuse designed for overcurrent protection in residential and light commercial electrical circuits. Built on the Fusetron time-delay platform, it tolerates brief harmless inrush currents — such as motor startup surges — without nuisance opening, while still providing reliable protection against sustained overloads and short circuits. This fuse threads into a standard Edison-base fuseholder and is sold in a pack of 5, making it a practical restocking item for service vans and maintenance shops. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

Type T plug fuses are commonly used in residential load centers, fused disconnect panels, and older fuse-box installations where Edison-base overcurrent protection is required. The time-delay characteristic makes this fuse well suited for circuits serving motors, compressors, and other inductive loads where momentary startup current exceeds the steady-state rating. At 6-1/4 amps, it fits small motor branch circuits and similar low-amperage applications found in HVAC, appliance, and general electrical work.

Key Features

• 6-1/4 amp rating with Type T time-delay Fusetron design for inrush tolerance
• Edison-base plug fuse format fits standard residential fuseholders
• Time-delay action prevents nuisance blowing on motor startup surges
• UPC carded retail pack of 5 for easy van stock and resale
• Suitable for inductive loads including small motors and compressors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard Edison-base Type T plug fuse applications in residential and light commercial fused electrical panels and disconnect boxes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always shut off power to the panel or disconnect before replacing a fuse. Verify that the replacement fuse rating matches the circuit requirements — never substitute a higher-amp fuse to clear a nuisance condition. Inspect the fuseholder for damage or heat discoloration before installing a new fuse.
