FAQs
The TPM-15 measures 1 in L by 0.375 in W by 2.063 in H and uses standard packaging, designed for common fuse holders in telecom enclosures. It fits neatly within Bussmann TPM family layouts, enabling straightforward replacements without custom mounts. When planning a retrofit, verify clearance for mounting and confirm space in the rack or cabinet to avoid interference with adjacent equipment.
TPM-15 provides a 15 A current rating, 80 Vdc voltage rating, and a 20 kAIC interrupt rating. This combination supports rapid fault interruption while protecting sensitive telecom circuitry from overcurrent events. Its current-limiting characteristic helps minimize peak fault energy, reducing conductor heating and potential downstream damage.
Yes, TPM-15 is CE marked, confirming compliance with EU safety requirements for electrical protection devices. No other certifications are listed in the provided data. For EU deployments, ensure integration with your existing European circuit protection scheme and verify compatibility with nearby components in the protection chain.
TPM-15 is a non-indicating fuse, so it does not provide a visual trip indicator. Plan for periodic maintenance to verify circuit integrity and replace fuses after a fault event or at routine intervals per maintenance SOPs. Because it’s compatible with the TPM TPMDS family, stocking common parts reduces downtime and spare parts costs while maintaining consistent protection across cabinets.
