FAQs
The 74G-2 is designed for telecom and data circuits that require fast-acting protection at 60 VDC and 2 A. It suits standard Bussmann series holders and common telecom enclosure layouts, enabling straightforward substitution in existing fleets of fuses without major rework. Always verify the circuit’s fault-current and voltage characteristics match the fuse rating to guarantee proper protection and minimal downtime.
Key specs include a 2 A amperage rating and a 60 V DC voltage rating, with a non-indicating fuse indicator and fast-acting behavior. The fuse is CE marked, aligning with EU safety standards. The compact cylindrical design (1.62 in length, 0.42 in width, 2.4 in height) supports space-constrained installations typical in telecom cabinets and equipment racks.
Yes, the 74G-2 is CE marked, indicating compliance with EU safety and performance requirements. This certification supports deployment across European networks and OEM applications, reducing regulatory barriers and facilitating cross-border maintenance and procurement for telecom systems.
Installers should ensure the fuse holder is compatible with cylindrical, non-indicating designs and that the circuit operates within the 2 A / 60 V DC specification. Use the standard packaging for easy stocking and replacement. Confirm the mechanical fit in the housing and verify lead-in wiring or cartridge connections remain secure during maintenance to minimize contact resistance and ensure consistent protection performance.
By preventing nuisance outages with precise 2 A / 60 V DC protection, the 74G-2 reduces unplanned downtime and equipment damage, improving network availability and service reliability. Standardized, CE-marked protection from the Bussmann series also streamlines procurement and stocking, lowering maintenance complexity and inventory costs for telecom operators and equipment manufacturers.
