Eaton BP/AGC-3-RP Agc Glass Tube Fuse 3A 250V 5-pack

Product Description

The EATON BP/AGC-3-RP is a glass tube automotive-style fuse rated at 3 amps and 250 volts, sold in a 5-pack card. The AGC series uses a cylindrical glass body that allows visual inspection of the element without removal. At 0.25 inches in diameter, these fuses fit standard AGC fuse holders found in control panels, low-voltage circuits, and equipment protection applications across HVAC, electrical, and light industrial service work. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians reach for AGC fuses when servicing transformer secondary circuits, control boards, and instrumentation requiring fast-acting overcurrent protection.

AGC glass tube fuses are commonly installed in residential and light commercial control circuits where a compact, fast-acting fuse is required. Typical applications include low-voltage thermostat transformer protection, control panel branch circuits, and instrumentation wiring. The 3-amp rating makes this fuse suitable for protecting 24-volt control circuits and similar low-current loads. Each card contains 5 fuses, making it a practical stocking item for field service technicians who need replacements on hand during equipment service calls.

Key Features

• 3-amp rating with 250-volt maximum for low-voltage control circuit protection
• Glass tube body allows visual inspection of the fuse element without a meter
• Standard 0.25-inch diameter AGC form factor fits widely available fuse holders
• Sold in a 5-pack card for convenient field stocking and service kit use
• Fast-acting element response suitable for sensitive control and instrumentation circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard AGC-series glass tube fuse holders rated for 0.25-inch diameter cylindrical fuses in control and instrumentation circuits.

Installation Notes

AGC fuses are typically replaced by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians as part of control circuit troubleshooting. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing a fuse. Verify the replacement fuse amp rating matches the circuit protection requirement exactly — do not substitute a higher-rated fuse to clear a nuisance trip. NEC guidelines apply to fuse selection and circuit protection in electrical installations.
