Bussmann 15BHLE2-50E Eaton Series BHLE E-Rated Fuse, 40A
The Bussmann 15BHLE2-50E is an Eaton series 15BHLE E-rated fuse designed for indoor and outdoor electrical distribution applications where dependable overcurrent protection is essential. Built in a single barrel configuration, this fuse carries a 40A amperage rating paired with a 63 kAIC interrupting rating, giving it the capacity to safely clear high fault currents on demand. As an E-rated device, the 15BHLE2-50E is engineered for compatibility with standard E-rated fuse mountings, making it a practical choice for facilities that rely on Eaton and Bussmann fuse systems for their electrical protection scheme. Its indoor/outdoor rating means it can be specified for a wide range of installation environments without requiring a separate enclosure-specific fuse variant.
