FAQs
The BBS-15 employs ferrule-end connections on both terminals, matching common ferrule wiring practices in industrial panels. This ferrule-end design simplifies field installation, improves termination reliability, and supports quick replacement during routine maintenance without the need for re-terminating conductors. Ensure conductors are sized per catalog guidance and use appropriate ferrules for 15 A circuits.
The BBS-15 interruption rating is not specified in the data and is labeled as 'Consult factory' for exact values. When assessing fault currents, determine system fault level at the fuse location, compare to the fuse curve in the datasheet, and contact Eaton/Bussmann support to confirm the appropriate protection level for your 48 V DC circuit to ensure safe operation and compliance.
Yes. The BBS-15 is designed as a 15 A, 48 V DC protective device in Bussmann’s midget fuse family. Its non-indicating design, ferrule-end terminations, and nickel-plated endcaps make it a practical choice for compact control panels where reliable DC protection and easy replacement are critical for uptime and maintenance efficiency.
The BBS-15 lists CE Marked compliance, aligning it with European regulatory requirements for electrical protection devices. This certification supports market access and safety compliance for panel assemblies. If other standards (UL/CSA) are needed for a given project, confirm with Eaton to verify additional certifications or compatibility with your specific installation standards.
The BBS-15, with ferrule-end terminations and standard Bussmann form, enables quick part replacement and straightforward wiring, reducing service time in the field. Its 15 A rating fits common DC circuits in automation and control cabinets, helping minimize unplanned downtime, streamline spare-part inventories, and improve overall equipment availability in manufacturing environments.
