Bussmann SAMI-3I – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Bussmann SAMI-3I cover fit my Class J fuses?
The SAMI-3I is sized for Class J fuses in the 65 to 100 amp range, and that is the only fuse class it is built for. If your block carries Class J fuses under 65A or above 100A, this is the wrong cover size, and if the block holds Class R, Class T, or Class CC fuses, the SAMI-3I will not fit them at all.
2) How much room do I need in the panel to install a SAMI fuse cover over a Class J block?
Plan on 4.88 inches of length, 1.15 inches of width, and 1.58 inches of height per cover. In a multi-pole block the covers sit side by side, so the 1.15 inch width is what determines whether adjacent poles and wiring gutters have clearance once the covers are snapped on. Each cover weighs about .5 lb.
3) Do I need one SAMI-3I per fuse or one per disconnect?
One per fuse. The cover snaps over a single fuse position, so a three-phase 100A Class J block takes three SAMI-3I covers to be fully dead front. Order by pole count, not by enclosure.
4) What voltage can a SAMI-3I dead front fuse cover be used at?
Rated 600 Vac and 600 Vdc, so it covers the usual 480V and 600V three-phase distribution gear as well as DC applications at the same level. It matches the voltage class of the Class J fuse it sits over.
5) Does the SAMI-3I show me when a fuse has blown?
No. The SAMI-3I is a non-indicating cover, so it is a plain touch-safe barrier with no blown-fuse indication window or light. Troubleshooting still means pulling the cover and testing the fuse. If crews rely on visual blown-fuse indication in the panel, specify an indicating fuse or an indicating-style SAMI instead.
6) I'm standardizing fuse covers across a facility. What do I specify to order the right SAMI?
For Class J at 65 to 100 amps, the part number is SAMI-3I from Bussmann. The SAMI family is split by fuse class and amp band, so a facility running several amp ranges of Class J needs more than one SAMI part number. Confirm each block's fuse class and amp rating before you build the order, then count fuse positions rather than panels.
