FAQs
The BBS-6/10 uses ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections designed for standard fuse holders. Ensure the panel offers compatible ferrule terminals, align the fuse along the holder axis, and push it firmly into place until seated. The nickel-plated endcaps provide reliable contact, and the compact 1.38 in length fits tight spaces. After installation, verify electrical continuity and confirm no mechanical binding before returning the panel to service.
The BBS-6/10 is rated for 600 V and delivers a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling rapid fault clearance in high-energy industrial environments. This combination supports safe operation, component coordination, and minimal upstream disturbance during faults. It is well-suited for control panels, machine wiring, and distribution blocks where compact protection with robust ratings is required.
Yes. The BBS-6/10 includes silver-plated fuse caps and is described as fast-acting, which improves contact reliability and reduces the time to interrupt faults. This enhances protection for sensitive circuitry and helps maintain uptime in automated systems, especially where high-speed fault clearing is advantageous.
CE marking indicates conformity with applicable European safety directives, confirming that the fuse meets essential health and safety requirements. For the BBS-6/10, this supports regulatory compliance in European installations and simplifies cross-border procurement for panel builders and OEMs while aligning with common protection practices in industrial automation.
Using the BBS-6/10 can reduce downtime by minimizing nuisance trips through precise 0.6 A protection and rapid fault clearing (10 kAIC at 600 V). The compact form and nickel-plated endcaps simplify maintenance and replacement in dense panels, lowering labor costs. Reliable CE-compliant protection also supports predictable maintenance planning and longer equipment life.
