FAQs
BK/BBS-2 is designed for control circuits, HID ballast feeds, and electronic circuits in industrial equipment. Install it in standard fuse holders or control panels with compatible endcaps. Use correct 2 A rating for the load, ensure secure mounting, and verify clearance for the 3.6 in length and 0.5 lb weight to maintain proper ventilation and heat dissipation.
The BK/BBS-2 is rated at 2 A with an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 600 V and a voltage rating of 600 V. This combination ensures fast, clean interruption of fault energy for small-control loads while preventing nuisance trips under normal operation, supporting reliable automation and panel reliability in high-energy environments.
Yes. With a 600 V rating and 2 A current rating, BK/BBS-2 is appropriate for HID ballast feeds and various electronic circuits within industrial equipment. Its compact form factor and durable construction make it a practical choice for panel-mounted protection in lighting and instrumentation applications.
BK/BBS-2 carries CE marking, indicating compliance with European safety standards. For additional or project-specific certifications, refer to the Catalog Notes and contact the manufacturer for documentation. Verification can be done via Eaton’s specification sheets and the included CE compliance statements in product literature.
Using BK/BBS-2 provides predictable protection with a 2 A rating, reducing nuisance trips and associated downtime. Bulk packaging lowers stocking costs, while its rugged fiber-tube construction and endcaps extend service life in harsh environments. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance labor, faster part replacement, and improved system uptime.
