FAQs
The BAF-9 is intended for general purpose circuits in industrial control panels, lighting installations, and metering applications where rapid fault clearing is essential. Its 9 A rating and 250 V maximum work safely with common control voltages, supporting reliable protection of loads such as lighting fixtures, metering enclosures, and small automation circuits. The fast-acting characteristic minimizes arc energy and protects sensitive equipment while keeping nuisance trips to a minimum in properly sized circuits.
The BAF-9 is rated at 9 A with an interrupt rating of 200 AIC at 250 VAC and 10 kAIC at 125 VAC. It is designed for a voltage rating of 250 V. These specifications enable effective fault clearing for general purpose and lighting circuits, while maintaining compatibility with Bussmann series holders and standard panel configurations.
Yes. The BAF-9 is part of the Eaton Bussmann series and is listed as a replacement for the older F16B fuse design. It uses nickel-plated brass endcaps and standard packaging, ensuring straightforward retrofits in existing Bussmann holders and control panels without extensive modifications. This compatibility simplifies spare part inventories and technician training during upgrades.
The BAF-9 carries CE Marked compliance, aligning it with EU safety and conformity requirements for electrical components. While SIL and IP ratings are not specified for this model, CE marking indicates adherence to essential safety, health, and environmental protection standards within European markets, providing a solid basis for cross-border installations when combined with appropriate enclosure and wiring practices.
The BAF-9 fuse measures 0.41 inches in width and depth, with a height of 1.5 inches, and it weighs about 0.25 pounds. It comes in standard packaging, and features nickel-plated brass endcaps for robust, corrosion-resistant connections. This compact size suits tight enclosures and simplifies stocking for routine maintenance in lighting and metering applications.
