FAQs
BK/GMT-1-1/2A is designed for use with Eaton Bussmann GMT series telecommunication fuses and compatible telecom racks, line cards, and data-center protection schemes. Its compact thermoplastic body and tin-plated terminals simplify mounting in standard enclosures, while its 125 Vac and 60 Vdc ratings align with common telecom power rails. This makes it a reliable choice for modular cabinets and centralized equipment racks in both new builds and upgrades.
The fuse provides a 1.50 A rating with a voltage tolerance of 125 Vac and 60 Vdc. It offers interrupt ratings of 300 AIC at 125 Vac and 450 AIC at 60 Vdc, enabling fast fault clearance to protect sensitive telecom components. This combination supports precise protection for line cards and power rails, reducing the risk of cascading failures during transient events while maintaining service continuity.
Yes, the BK/GMT-1-1/2A is CE Marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with common regulatory requirements in global telecom deployments. Its thermoplastic housing and tin-plated terminals provide reliable operation across a range of installation environments, from controlled data centers to field enclosures. For extreme outdoor or harsh environments, verify enclosure protection and proper mounting to maintain performance.
Non-indicating fuses do not provide a visual blown status, so maintenance relies on circuit testing, fault logs, and monitoring systems. This reduces component cost and simplifies visual inspection in tight or densely packed equipment. For troubleshooting, integrate with remote surveillance or test points to confirm fuse health without opening cabinets, preserving uptime and minimizing exposure.
GMT fuses like BK/GMT-1-1/2A help reduce downtime by providing fast, reliable fault clearing with high interrupt ratings, limiting system-wide outages. Their compact form, RoHS compliance, and durable terminals lower installation and replacement costs, while standardized GMT-series components simplify stocking and maintenance across multiple sites, delivering consistent protection for telecom infrastructures.
