Eaton BP/FNM-12 Time Delay Cartridge Fuse 12A 2-pack

Product Description

The EATON BP/FNM-12 is a Fusetron FNM series time delay cartridge fuse rated at 12 amps, sold in a 2-pack. It is a general-purpose fuse designed for circuits that experience high inrush current during motor startup. The time delay characteristic allows the initial surge to pass without opening the circuit, while still providing reliable overcurrent protection when a sustained, dangerous overload is present. Licensed electricians and pool equipment technicians install this fuse in branch circuits serving motor-driven loads. It carries a UL listing, confirming it meets recognized safety standards for general-purpose overcurrent protection.

This fuse is well suited for residential and light commercial applications where motor inrush current would otherwise cause nuisance opening with a standard fast-acting fuse. Typical installations include spa control panels, pool pump circuits, and other commercial equipment with inductive motor loads. The FNM series is a widely recognized form factor for time delay fusing in these applications, and the 2-pack format supports service calls that require an on-hand spare.

Key Features

• 12-amp rating with time delay for motor inrush current tolerance
• Opens reliably under sustained overload conditions to prevent equipment damage
• UL listed for general-purpose overcurrent protection
• Cartridge form factor fits standard fuse holders designed for the FNM series
• Sold as a 2-pack for convenience on service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge fuse for circuits requiring a time delay FNM-series fuse, including spa panels, pool pump branch circuits, and general commercial motor load applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing any fuse. Verify the replacement fuse rating matches the circuit requirements exactly before restoring power. Do not substitute a higher-amperage fuse in an attempt to eliminate nuisance opening.
