BK/GBB-V-12-R

The BK/GBB-V-12-R is a current limiting molded case fuse rated at 12 amperes, 125 VAC, with a class RK5 connection. It is part of the Bussmann industrial fuses family of limiters. This type of fuse is designed to provide protection for low-voltage, non-inductive circuits. It provides both overload and short-circuit protection.

The BK/GBB-V-12-R fuse has a single element consisting of two contacts held together by a clip-shaped spring member. When a fault current of more than 12A flows through the contacts, the spring member is forced outward and an arc is created between the two contacts. This provides protection against overloads and shorts.

It is important to note that when this type of fuse is used, it must be selected to match the current and voltage requirements of the circuit it is to be used in. In order to ensure proper operation, the fuse must be rated for at least 10% more current and 20% more voltage than the maximum current and voltage the system may see.

The BK/GBB-V-12-R fuse is designed for use in a variety of industrial applications such as motors, transformers, and relay loads. It can also be used in residential applications such as range outlets, air conditioners, and water heaters. In all cases, the fuse must be sized correctly to ensure proper operation.

The BK/GBB-V-12-R fuse is UL Listed, CSA Certified, and rated to UL/CSA/IEC 60950-1 for use in hazardous or hazardous classified locations. The fuse can be mounted horizontally or vertically, with mounting screws to secure it in place. It is also available in an optional heat-sensitive rating.

The fuse works by limiting the current flowing through it; when the current exceeds a set threshold, the spring member inside the fuse separates the two terminals and an arc is created. This trips the fuse and breaks the circuit, cutting off the flow of current and providing a high degree of protection against damage or overloads. The BK/GBB-V-12-R fuse is an excellent solution for anyone needing reliable and effective fusing protection.
