Bussmann TCF17-1/2 Time Delay Fuse

Bussmann TCF17-1/2 Time Delay Fuse

Reliable Overload Protection for Demanding Applications

The Bussmann TCF17-1/2 is a 17.5-amp time-delay fuse engineered to safeguard electrical circuits against damaging overloads and short circuits. Designed for scenarios with temporary inrush currents (e.g., motor startups or transformer energization), its “slow-blow” characteristic allows brief current surges without nuisance tripping while providing robust protection against sustained faults. Ideal for industrial, commercial, and HVAC systems, this fuse ensures operational continuity and equipment longevity.

🔑 Key Features

• Time-Delay Design: Tolerates initial current spikes (e.g., motor inrush) without blowing.
• Rated Current: 17.5A (1/2 denotes 17.5A in fractional form).
• Voltage Rating: 250V AC (standard for TCF series).
• Interrupting Capacity: High breaking capacity for reliable fault isolation.
• Compact Form Factor: 5mm × 20mm glass tube construction for easy installation in fuse holders, panels, or DIN rails.
• Compliance: Meets international safety standards (UL/CSA certified).

🛠️ Typical Applications

• Motor control circuits (HVAC compressors, pumps, fans).
• Industrial automation panels and machinery.
• Transformers, power supplies, and capacitors.
• Appliances with inductive loads requiring surge tolerance.
