Feature → Business Impact → Application: Amperage range 0.18–15 A paired with a two-pole BG block provides precise, predictable protection for small to mid-size control circuits. This sizing reduces nuisance trips and minimizes unintended equipment shutdowns, boosting line uptime. The configuration supports box lug connections and compact footprints, streamlining cabinet design for panel builders. Standardization on BG3012B across multiple control panels reduces parts diversity, simplifies stocking, and accelerates commissioning. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A 100 kA short-circuit rating at 600 V delivers high fault current handling without compromising safety. This capability mitigates risk of damage to feeders and downstream equipment during a fault, preserving critical production lines. The two-pole design supports coordinated protection in motor controls and logic circuits. Ideal for use in machine controls, packaging lines, and automated assembly cells. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Box lug terminals simplify field wiring and ensure solid, vibration-resistant connections, improving reliability in harsh environments. Class G construction provides predictable interrupting performance across standard fuse types and loads. This configuration enables quick field maintenance, with fewer terminal concerns during panel upgrades. Compatibility with the BG family streamlines stocking and interchanges across project scopes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS compliance, UL Recognized, and CSA Certified certifications reduce regulatory risk and expedite procurement in regulated industries. The product is backed by Eaton’s datasheets and support, including the BG3012B specification sheet and related data sheets. Warranty status is Not Applicable, but long-term reliability is demonstrated by high-quality materials and industry-tested designs. This combination supports predictable maintenance cycles and lower total cost of ownership. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The BG3012B is designed for straightforward installation in standard electrical protection and circuit control sections, with a catalog number that aligns with Bussmann series resources and full datasheets. Its nominal dimensions reflect a minimal physical footprint. Typical applications include panel builders, OEM machine builders, and field upgrades where reliable fusing is required. For procurement teams, this translates to easier sourcing through Eaton catalogs and complete technical data.
