Bussmann FNM Series Fusetron Dual-Element Time-Delay Midget Fuse

Bussmann FNM Series Fusetron Dual-Element Time-Delay Midget Fuse

The Bussmann FNM Series is a line of Fusetron dual-element, time-delay midget fuses rated 250-Volt AC and available in amperage ratings from 15 Amp to 20 Amp, designed for non-rejection style fuse holders and fuse blocks. Identified in the manufacturer catalog as Miniature Fusetron fuses, the FNM Series pairs a fast-acting short-circuit element with a thermal time-delay element so the fuse can ride through momentary inrush current and temporary overloads without opening unnecessarily. This dual-element construction makes the FNM Series a practical choice for control circuits, small motor loads, and other applications where a standard fast-blow fuse would nuisance-trip. FNM Series fuses are commonly specified as a like-for-like replacement for OEM equipment originally supplied with Fusetron-branded fuses of the same voltage class.

Key Features

• Amperage Rating Range: Available in 15 Amp and 20 Amp ratings sized for control circuits, small motor branch circuits, and other moderate current loads.
• Voltage Rating: 250-Volt AC rating suitable for standard low-voltage power distribution circuits across the FNM Series.
• Dual-Element Construction: Combines a spring-loaded short-circuit element with a thermal time-delay element to absorb temporary overloads and inrush current.
• Time-Delay Operation: Fusetron time-delay design reduces nuisance opening on circuits with motor starting current or transformer inrush.
• Midget Fuse Body: Compact Miniature Fusetron-class body style sized to fit midget fuse blocks and holders.
• Non-Rejection Style: Ferrule configuration designed to fit standard non-rejection fuse clips, holders, and blocks.
• Fusetron Series: Part of the Bussmann Fusetron line of dual-element, time-delay fuses, with the FNM designator shared across the amperage range.
• Reliable Overcurrent Protection: Time-delay dual-element design helps protect wiring and equipment while avoiding unnecessary fuse replacement from temporary current spikes.

Why Bussmann?

Bussmann is a well-established name in circuit protection, and the Fusetron FNM Series reflects that focus with a dual-element, time-delay design built to balance dependable overcurrent protection against nuisance opening. Selecting the correct Fusetron midget fuse for non-rejection holders helps maintain proper protection on 250-Volt AC circuits across the 15 Amp to 20 Amp range, supporting safe, code-compliant operation of the equipment it protects. For facilities and panels that already use Fusetron midget fuses, the FNM Series offers like-for-like replacements that keep overcurrent protection consistent across the electrical system.
