Bussmann AD2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bussmann AD2 fit a standard BS88 bolted fuse base?
The AD2 is built to BS88 construction with centre-bolted tags, so it mounts to a bolted BS88 base rather than clipping into a holder. Body dimensions are 129 mm length, 22 mm width and 21 mm height, so check your base centres and enclosure clearance against those numbers before ordering.
2) Can I use the Bussmann AD2 fuse on a DC circuit?
Yes, within limits. The AD2 is rated 550 Vac and 250 Vdc, so it can be applied on DC circuits up to 250 volts. Above that, it is an AC-only part.
3) What does the gL/gG rating on this 2A Bussmann fuse actually cover?
gL/gG is a general purpose full-range utilization category, meaning the AD2 protects both the cable and the connected equipment against overload and short circuit. It is not a motor-circuit aM type, so if you need a fuse that rides through motor inrush while a separate device handles overload, gL/gG is the wrong category for that duty.
4) Does the Bussmann AD2 have a blown fuse indicator?
No indicator on the AD2. If your maintenance crew relies on a visual pop-up or a microswitch striker to find the open fuse in a panel, you will need a different part or an external indicating device; troubleshooting this one means testing.
5) Does the AD2 come with insulated gripping lugs for live handling?
No. The AD2 is supplied without insulated metal gripping lugs, so it is handled with the circuit isolated using a proper fuse puller or by unbolting the tags. If your standard calls for IMGL fuses on live-work sites, specify a different variant.
6) Where is a 2A BS88 fuse like this normally used?
At 2 amps, the AD2 sits in control and instrumentation legs rather than main feeders: control circuits, low voltage distribution panels and switchgear, and cable protection on small branch circuits in general industrial plant. It also carries an 80 A rated switching capacity.
7) How much does the Bussmann AD2 fuse weigh for shipping or panel loading?
Each AD2 fuse weighs 62.9 grams and ships in standard packaging.
