Bussmann ABC Series Fast-Acting Electronic Fuse, Ceramic Construction

The Bussmann ABC Series delivers fast-acting circuit protection engineered for electronic applications, available in ratings from 1A to 15A to match a wide range of current protection needs. Built with ceramic tube construction and nickel-plated brass endcaps, these fuses use ferrule end connections and carry a 250 Vac/125 Vdc voltage rating with interrupt ratings up to 10 kAIC at 125 Vac/dc. The compact 1.25 IN x .25 IN profile fits standard electronic circuit protection footprints, making the ABC Series a dependable choice for control panels, instrumentation, and power supply protection.

Key Features

  • Amp Rating Range: Available in 1A to 15A ratings to precisely match electronic circuit protection requirements.
  • Ceramic Tube Construction: Ceramic body with nickel-plated brass endcaps enables higher amp/volt rating combinations with superior durability and thermal performance.
  • Fast-Acting Response: Delivers quick circuit protection with 4 hr minimum at 100%, 60 min maximum at 135%, and 120 s maximum at 200% response characteristics.
  • High Interrupt Rating: Handles fault currents up to 750 AIC at 250 Vac and 10 kAIC at 125 Vac/dc for comprehensive protection.
  • Dual Voltage Rating: Rated 250 Vac, 125 Vdc, and 32 Vac (self certified) for versatile application compatibility.

Bussmann ABC-15-R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a Bussmann ABC fuse on a 250V AC circuit and on 125V DC?
Both. The ABC carries a 250 Vac and 125 Vdc rating, with interrupting capacity of 750 A at 250 Vac and 10 kA at 125 Vac/dc. Do not apply it above 250 volts AC.
2) Is the ABC fast-acting or time-delay? Will it nuisance-trip on motor or transformer inrush?
Fast-acting. The ABC opens in 120 seconds maximum at 200 percent of rating, holds 4 hours minimum at 100 percent, and 60 minutes maximum at 135 percent. That speed is what you want on instrumentation, power supplies, and electronic circuits. On a load with real inrush, a fast-acting fuse of the same amp value will likely open on startup; size for a time-delay type instead.
3) What amp ratings does the Bussmann ABC ceramic fuse come in?
The ABC range runs from 1A up to 15A. Order by the amp value in the part number: ABC-1-R for 1 amp, ABC-15-R for 15 amp. Pick the rating to match the circuit you are protecting, not the wire feeding it.
4) Ceramic or glass fuse - which should I use in a control panel?
Go ceramic where fault current or voltage is meaningful. The ABC uses a ceramic tube rather than glass, and that body is what allows the higher amp/volt rating combinations and the 10 kA interrupt figure. The trade-off: you cannot see the element, and the ABC is a non-indicating fuse, so a blown one has to be checked with a meter rather than by eye.
5) Will nickel-plated brass endcaps hold up better than plain caps in a panel?
The endcaps are nickel-plated brass, which resists corrosion at the clip contact and keeps contact resistance stable over time. That matters in panels and instrumentation racks where a corroded ferrule causes heating and false opens.
6) Where do I find the full time-current curves for the Bussmann ABC series?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the ABC series covering the complete electrical characteristics across the 1A to 15A range. It is linked on the product record as the manufacturer PDF spec sheet.
