Bussmann BBS-25 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a BBS-25 fuse on a 120V or 240V control circuit?
No. The BBS-25 is rated 48 V, so it is only suitable for low-voltage circuits at or below that. Putting a 48 V fuse on a 120 V or 240 V control transformer secondary or lighting circuit is a misapplication, because the fuse may not safely clear an arc at the higher voltage. For 120/240/277 V midget applications you need a higher voltage-rated midget fuse such as a 600 V class CC or 500 V midget type.
2) What is the BBS-25 fuse actually used for?
It is a fast acting 25 amp midget fuse intended for control circuits, gaseous vapor fixtures, HID ballasts, electronic circuits, and hand-held meters. Fast acting means it clears quickly on overcurrent rather than riding through an inrush surge, so it suits electronic and metering loads rather than motor starting.
3) Does the BBS-25 have a blown-fuse indicator?
No, it is non-indicating. There is no pop-up pin or visual flag, so a blown BBS-25 has to be checked with a meter or by continuity test. If your maintenance crew relies on visual identification in a panel, specify an indicating fuse type instead.
4) Is the Bussmann BBS-25 fuse suitable for HID ballast protection?
Yes, HID ballasts are one of the named applications for the BBS series, along with gaseous vapor fixtures. The constraint is voltage: at 48 V rated, the BBS-25 belongs on a low-voltage portion of the circuit, not on a line-voltage 277 V ballast feed.
5) What exact part number do I order for a 25 amp Bussmann BBS midget fuse?
Order Bussmann BBS-25. That is the manufacturer part number for the 25 amp, 48 V fast acting midget in the Eaton Bussmann BBS series, supplied in standard packaging.
6) Does the BBS-25 carry any compliance marking for export or spec work?
The BBS-25 is CE Marked. That is the compliance marking held on record for this fuse, and it is the one to reference on submittals requiring European conformity.
