Eaton BP/TL-30 30A Time-delay Plug Fuse 3-pack

Product Description

The EATON BP/TL-30 is a medium-duty, time-delay plug fuse rated at 30 amps and 125 volts AC, sold in a 3-pack. It uses a loaded-link TL design that tolerates the brief inrush current that motors, relays, and solenoids draw at startup without nuisance tripping, while still opening on a sustained overcurrent. The Edison base with brass threads fits standard residential fuse receptacles. An extra-large clear window lets techs and inspectors quickly confirm whether the fuse has opened without removing it. Interrupting capacity is rated at 10,000 amps. Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians during service or panel work on residential and light commercial circuits.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial branch circuits that serve electric motors and other inductive loads. Typical applications include kitchen appliance circuits, workshop machinery, garage circuits, and utility room equipment where motor-driven loads are common. The time-delay characteristic prevents nuisance blowing on startup surges while providing reliable overcurrent protection during steady-state fault conditions.

Key Features

• Time-delay loaded-link design tolerates motor inrush current without nuisance tripping
• Rated 30 amps at 125 volts AC
• 10,000 amp interrupting capacity (A.I.C.) for residential service levels
• Edison base with brass threads fits standard screw-type fuse receptacles
• Extra-large clear window allows quick visual inspection of fuse condition
• UL listed for residential and light commercial overcurrent protection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard Edison-base screw-type fuse receptacles used in residential and light commercial panelboards and fuse blocks rated for TL-style plug fuses.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of branch circuit fuses must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off the main disconnect and verify the circuit is de-energized before removing or installing a fuse. Do not substitute a higher-amperage fuse for a blown unit, as this defeats overcurrent protection. Confirm the replacement amperage and voltage rating match the circuit requirements before installation.
