FAQs
BK/80G-1/2 is designed to fit standard Bussmann series form factors and packaging, enabling straightforward drop-in replacement in many telecom panels. It uses the catalog number BK/80G-1/2 and a compact 0.28 in width with a 2.685 in height, which helps ensure mounting clearance and panel density. Verify mounting dimensions and enclosure clearance during retrofit planning to avoid fit issues.
The fuse is rated for 0.50 A at 160 V, providing overcurrent protection tailored to sensitive telecom circuits. This prevents damage from surges and short circuits, reducing equipment downtime and extending service life. For best results, integrate it with appropriate feeder protection and monitor with centralized alarms to quickly detect failures.
Yes, BK/80G-1/2 supports remote electrical alarm capability, allowing fault signals to be sent to centralized monitoring systems without opening the panel. This enables proactive maintenance in data centers and network rooms, speeding fault detection and reducing on-site inspections. Ensure your alarm interface is compatible with your facility’s monitoring infrastructure.
The fuse carries CE Marked compliance, indicating conformity with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements for safe integration into European and many international systems. This supports regulatory compliance in many markets, though additional approvals (like UL) may be required for other regions or specific applications.
Plan for adequate panel space and mounting clearance; the fuse’s compact dimensions support higher density in telecom racks. Remember it is non-indicating, so rely on the remote alarm for status updates. Use standard packaging for straightforward installation and ensure compatible wiring to the alarm system for reliable fault signaling.
