FAQs
The BAF-8/10 is designed for standard Bussmann fuse holders used in Eaton panels. Ensure the holder is rated for 250 V and at least 0.8 A. Align the endcaps with the holder contacts, push firmly until seated, and recheck the circuit after power restoration. Use proper PPE and follow your site’s lockout procedures. The non-indicating design means you’ll rely on status indicators elsewhere in the panel.
Key specs include a 0.8 A amperage rating, 250 V voltage rating, and interrupt ratings of 10 kAIC at 125 Vac and 35 AIC at 250 Vac. This combination provides fast acting protection for small‑to‑moderate fault currents while maintaining safe operation in lighting and meter circuits.
Yes. The fuse is explicitly intended for lighting circuit protection and general-purpose/meter circuits, offering a compact 0.8 A fast-acting solution with adequate interrupt rating for typical commercial and light industrial panels.
The BAF-8/10 is CE Marked, indicating compliance with European safety standards. This helps simplify regulatory acceptance for European installations and multi-site deployments, though you should still verify any local regulatory requirements beyond CE.
Its compact form factor, standard packaging, and Bussmann catalog compatibility streamline stocking and replacements, reducing downtime during maintenance. The durable nickel-plated endcaps and silver-plated caps improve longevity, lowering replacement frequency and overall lifecycle costs in panel builds.
