Overview
The Bussmann 0T00008.Z T-8 time delay fuse is a dual-element plug fuse designed for critical circuit protection in applications requiring motor overload tolerance. Operating at 8 amps, 125V AC with a 10,000 AIC interrupt rating, this Edison base fuse combines reliable protection with extended trip time for safe motor cycling. Each box contains three fuses.
Key Features
- Dual-element design: Series-connected element lets harmless motor starting currents pass without opening, reducing false trips on motor circuits.
- Heavy-duty time delay: Designed for applications like swamp coolers, air conditioners, furnace blowers, swimming pool pumps, and deep freezers where motors turn on and off frequently.
- Edison base threading: Brass threads thread into standard fuse receptacles for secure mounting.
- Clear window design: Extra large clear window makes it easy to see if fuse is blown.
- Industry approvals: UL, CSA, and CE certified for safety compliance.
