Eaton BP/T-3-2/10 Time-delay Plug Fuse 3.2A 125V

Product Description

The EATON BP/T-3-2/10 is a Fusetron Type T time-delay, dual-element, Edison base plug fuse rated at 3.2 amps and 125 volts AC. The dual-element design provides two-stage protection: it tolerates the high inrush current of motor startups without nuisance opening, then responds quickly to sustained overloads or short circuits. An extra-large clear window allows fast visual inspection without removing the fuse. With a 10,000 AIC interrupting rating, this fuse handles fault currents typical of residential and light-commercial branch circuits. Brass Edison base threads fit standard fuse receptacles. It is UL listed and intended for installation by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC and pool service technicians.

This fuse is suited for branch circuits that power motors cycling on and off repeatedly. Common applications include swamp coolers, central air conditioners, furnace blower motors, swimming pool pumps, and deep freezers. The time-delay characteristic prevents false opens during normal motor startup surges while still providing reliable overload and short-circuit protection for the connected equipment and wiring.

Key Features

• Dual-element time-delay design tolerates motor inrush current without nuisance tripping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement plug fuse for standard Edison base fuse receptacles used in residential and light-commercial motor branch circuits, including those serving swamp coolers, air conditioners, furnace blowers, pool pumps, and deep freezers.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always shut off power to the panel or disconnect before servicing fuse holders. Verify the replacement fuse amperage matches the circuit overcurrent protection rating specified on the equipment nameplate. Never substitute a higher-amperage fuse to resolve nuisance opens.
