Cooper Bussmann BP/TL-30 Type Tl Plug Fuse 30A 3 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/TL-30 is a 30-amp Type TL time-delay plug fuse designed for residential electrical panels and appliance branch circuits. The time-delay characteristic allows momentary inrush currents from motors and compressors to pass without nuisance tripping while still providing reliable overcurrent protection under sustained fault conditions. Each carded pack contains three fuses, making it a practical supply for service calls or panel work where multiple fuses may need replacement. At 1.83 inches long, 0.917 inches wide, and 0.417 inches high, the fuse fits standard Edison-base fuse sockets found in older residential load centers.

Type TL plug fuses are commonly specified in residential applications where Edison-base fuse panels remain in service. They are appropriate for 120-volt branch circuits protecting lighting, appliances, and small motor loads. The time-delay rating makes them well suited for circuits feeding refrigerators, washing machines, and similar motor-driven appliances that draw elevated startup current. Licensed electricians and service technicians install these fuses during panel maintenance, fuse replacement calls, and appliance service work in homes with older fuse-box electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always shut off the main disconnect or de-energize the panel before replacing plug fuses. Confirm the replacement fuse amperage matches the circuit rating stamped inside the fuse socket — never install a higher-amperage fuse than the circuit is rated for. Use an insulated fuse puller or appropriate PPE when working inside an energized enclosure.
