FAQs
Ensure the fuse is integrated into the DC power path with a properly rated holder and secure mechanical mounting. The BK/ALS-200B measures 3.75 in in length and uses standard bulk packaging, facilitating easy stocking. Connect to the correct positive supply path, verify conductor sizing for 200 A operation, and observe proper torque on mounting hardware to maintain reliable contact under vibration.
The fuse is rated for 200 A with a voltage rating of 36 Vdc. It is non-indicating, designed for bulk procurement, and features silver-plated fuse caps to improve contact reliability. Dimensions are 3.75 in length by 1.63 in height and width, suitable for compact DC power distributions in equipment like lift trucks and battery chargers.
Yes. With a 36 Vdc rating and 200 A current capacity, the BK/ALS-200B is well suited for battery charging applications in industrial settings, providing fast protection against short circuits and overloads while remaining compatible with typical 24–48 V systems used in forklift charging stations.
The catalog data provided indicates Not Applicable for warranty and compliance, and no specific certifications are listed here. For regulatory compliance and certification scope, refer to the official Eaton datasheet and the latest Bussmann ALS series documentation to identify applicable standards and test reports.
Bulk packaging reduces procurement complexity and stocking costs, enabling faster replacement cycles and easier inventory management for large fleets. By standardizing on a single 200 A, 36 Vdc fuse for lift truck and charger circuits, operations can lower downtime, improve part availability, and simplify supplier negotiations over time.
