Overview
The Cooper SA-8 fuse adapter is a tamper-proof socket adapter designed to retrofit standard Edison-thread fuse holders in residential and light commercial applications. This adapter allows safe installation of 8A tamper-proof (Fustat) fuses and prevents accidental installation of fuses with higher amp ratings, reducing the risk of circuit overload and fire hazards.
Key Features
- Screws into standard Edison-base fuse sockets with no modification required
- Restricts fuse amp rating to 8A, preventing over-fusing
- Tamper-proof design ensures safety and code compliance
- Includes 4 adapters per box for multiple circuits
- Made by Cooper Bussmann, a trusted manufacturer of electrical circuit protection
