Cooper Bussmann BP/TL-20 Type Tl Plug Fuse 20A 3 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/TL-20 is a Type TL time-delay plug fuse rated at 20 amps, sold in a 3-pack carded format. Type TL fuses are designed for circuits with motor loads or other inductive devices that draw brief startup surges above the rated current. The time-delay characteristic allows the fuse to ride through those harmless inrush events without nuisance opening, while still providing reliable overcurrent protection under sustained fault conditions. Licensed electricians and experienced DIYers install these in standard Edison-base fuse panels commonly found in older residential service equipment. Each fuse measures 1.83 inches long by 0.917 inches wide by 0.417 inches high.

Type TL plug fuses are used in residential fuse boxes where screw-in Edison-base fuse holders are present. The 20-amp rating covers branch circuits serving appliances, small motors, and general-purpose loads that benefit from time-delay protection. This carded 3-pack format is suited for service stock, panel replacements, or inventory replenishment on maintenance calls where multiple circuits need attention in a single visit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always shut off the main disconnect and verify the panel is de-energized before replacing fuses. Do not substitute a higher-amp fuse for a failed fuse without first identifying and correcting the underlying fault. Confirm the replacement fuse type and amperage match the circuit requirements before energizing.
