Bussmann S-15 15 Amp Plug Fuse Time Delay Rejection Base 4 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Bussmann S-15 15 Amp plug fuse is engineered to provide dependable time‑delay protection for electrical loads that experience frequent on‑off cycling, such as motor‑driven equipment and compressors. Constructed from high‑impact plastic and featuring a dual‑element design, each fuse meets UL standards for safety and performance. The rejection base design prevents accidental insertion of incompatible fuses, ensuring a secure connection in standard SA (rejection) adapters. Packaged in a 4‑pack, the fuses are sized to replace traditional 15 Amp plugs, offering a straightforward upgrade for existing panels and equipment.

Usage

These fuses are ideal for protecting critical motor circuits in industrial workshops, commercial HVAC systems, and agricultural machinery where motors start and stop repeatedly. The time‑delay characteristic allows brief inrush currents to pass without nuisance tripping, while still safeguarding against sustained overloads. Install the S‑15 fuse into any SA‑type rejection base, commonly found in motor control centers, load centers, and dedicated motor starters. The compact 2 × 2 × 2‑inch dimensions make them easy to handle and store, and the plastic housing resists corrosion in harsh environments.

FAQ

Can the S‑15 fuse be used in non‑motor applications?

Yes, the S‑15 fuse can protect any 15 Amp circuit that benefits from time‑delay characteristics, such as lighting loads with frequent switching, but it is optimized for motor circuits.

What does the “dual‑element” description mean?

Dual‑element refers to two separate fuse elements inside the same housing, providing redundancy and a higher safety margin against overloads.

Is the plastic housing safe for high‑temperature environments?

The plastic used is rated for typical industrial temperature ranges and meets UL standards for heat resistance, making it suitable for most indoor applications.

How do I know if my panel uses an SA rejection base?

SA rejection bases have a distinctive shape that only accepts fuses with a matching rejection profile. If your existing fuse has a recessed notch on the side, it is an SA type.

What warranty does Bussmann provide for this fuse?

Bussmann offers a standard one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects, and our customer service team can assist with any warranty claims.
