FAQs
The BBS-30 uses ferrule end x ferrule end connections and ferrule-term terminals, making it compatible with standard ferrule setups in many industrial control panels. With a 0.41 in width and 1.38 in height profile, it fits compact panel spaces and pairs well with other Bussmann series components for straightforward cross-referencing and stocking. Always verify voltage and amperage ratings align with your circuit requirements.
The BBS-30 has an interrupt rating that is specified as 'Consult factory.' This means you should engage Eaton/Bussmann technical support during the design phase or when coordinating protection coordination in a system with higher fault currents. Plan for proper fuse replacement and ensure downstream protection devices are sized to maintain safe selectivity.
Yes. The BBS-30 is rated for 48 V, with a 30 A amperage rating, aligning well with many DC control circuits in automation equipment. Its compact size and ferrule-end connections facilitate quick installation in control cabinets, helping to maintain robust protection without sacrificing panel space or serviceability.
The BBS-30 is CE marked, indicating conformity with European safety standards. This helps streamline procurement for European-based projects and ensures a baseline level of safety and reliability in electrical protection components. Always reference the Eaton datasheet for specific compliance details and installation guidelines.
The BBS-30 contributes to ROI through reliable, predictable protection that minimizes unexpected outages and reduces diagnostic time. Its corrosion-resistant endcaps and robust ferrule terminations lower the likelihood of contact degradation, while its compact packaging supports tighter panel layouts, enabling easier diagnostics and faster maintenance, improving overall equipment uptime.
