Bussmann BBS-6 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Bussmann BBS fuse fit a standard midget fuse holder?
The BBS is a Midget-class fuse with ferrule end x ferrule end terminals, so it drops into holders and fuse blocks built for midget fuses (the standard 13/32 x 1-1/2 inch midget body). If your holder is sized for Class CC fuses with a rejection feature, a BBS will not seat, because CC rejection holders only accept the CC rejection ferrule. Check the holder marking before ordering.
2) Is a fast-acting midget fuse the right choice, or do I need time-delay?
The BBS is fast acting, which suits resistive and electronic loads, control circuits, and equipment where you want the element to clear an overcurrent quickly with no intentional delay. If you are protecting a motor, transformer primary, or anything with a heavy inrush, a fast-acting fuse will nuisance-open on startup and you want a time-delay midget instead.
3) What is the interrupting rating of the Bussmann BBS fuse?
10 kAIC at 600 Vac. That figure has to equal or exceed the available fault current at the point of installation, so on a panel or fuse block fed from a large transformer where available fault current runs above 10 kA, a BBS is not the correct device and you need a higher-AIC midget such as a Class CC type.
4) What amp ratings does the Bussmann BBS midget fuse come in?
Two ratings are offered: 6 A (BBS-6) and 7 A (BBS-7). Both share the same 600 V rating and fast-acting element, so the only decision is which amperage matches your circuit or equipment nameplate.
5) Can I use a 600V BBS fuse on a 240V or 480V control circuit?
Yes. The BBS is rated 600 V, and a fuse may be applied at or below its voltage rating, so it works on 120, 240, or 480 V circuits as well. What you cannot do is go the other way and use a 250 V midget fuse on a 600 V system.
6) Does the BBS fuse show when it has blown?
No. The BBS is non-indicating, so there is no pop-up pin or window to look at. Troubleshooting means pulling the fuse and checking continuity with a meter, or testing across the holder. If your crew needs visual blown-fuse identification on a panel, specify an indicating midget instead.
7) Are the endcaps on these fuses corrosion resistant enough for a damp equipment room?
The endcaps are nickel-plated brass, which resists corrosion and keeps contact resistance low at the clip. That matters in humid plant rooms and outdoor enclosures, where bare brass can oxidize and cause the fuse to run hot in the holder.
8) Do Bussmann BBS fuses carry any compliance marking?
The BBS series is CE Marked. That is the compliance listing carried on record for the series, and it is what an institutional or export spec will typically ask for on the submittal.
9) I need to stock spares for a fuse block, how are these BBS fuses packaged?
Standard packaging, with each fuse weighing about .1 lb. For MRO stocking, order by the exact part number for the rating you need, BBS-6 for 6 A or BBS-7 for 7 A, since the two are physically identical apart from the element and printed rating.
