FAQs
Yes. The BK/GBHV12.5A6F is a cartridge-style fuse designed to fit standard Bussmann/GBH series holders used in industrial control panels. Its dimensions (1.57 in length, 1.37 in height, 0.32 in width) are compatible with common DIN/PCB-mounted and panel-mounted holders, making retrofits straightforward without special tooling.
The fuse is rated for 500 V and 12.50 A, with an interrupt rating of 5 kAIC and a short-circuit rating of 5 kA. These ratings indicate it can safely interrupt faults up to 5 kA at 500 V, protecting upstream equipment such as drives and relays in industrial power circuits.
This fuse is ideal for motor drives, control panels, and general power distribution in industrial environments. Its 500 V rating and 12.5 A capacity fit mid-range loads, while the 5 kAIC interrupt capability provides robust fault protection in panels and machines subject to surges or short circuits.
The fuse is UL Recognized and CE Marked, indicating compliance with U.S. safety standards and European product conformity requirements. These certifications help streamline cross-border approvals for OEMs and integrators deploying equipment in multiple markets.
The device is Non Indicating, so visual fault status isn’t available on the fuse itself. Plan for regular electrical system checks and leverage remote monitoring or panel indicators to track fuse status. Stocking up to 3000 units supports large projects and reduces downtime during spare-part replenishment.
