What type of Bussmann fuse do I need for my home fuse panel?

Most older residential panels use Bussmann S-type or TL time-delay plug fuses rated at 15A, 20A, or 30A. If your panel has cartridge-style fuses, you likely need Bussmann NON or FRN-R series. Our team at Family Hardware can help you identify the correct fuse type and amperage for your panel.

Does Family Hardware carry Bussmann automotive fuses?

Yes! We carry the full line of Bussmann automotive fuses including ATC blade fuses, ATM mini blade fuses, AGC glass tube fuses, SFE fuses, MAX maxi fuses, and fuse assortment kits. We also stock inline fuse holders for custom wiring projects.

How to Choose the Right Fuse

Time-Delay vs. Fast-Acting

Time-Delay (Fusetron): Ideal for motor circuits and appliances that draw high inrush current on startup. Absorbs temporary surges without nuisance blowing.
Fast-Acting (NON): Best for resistive loads like lighting and heating circuits where no startup surge occurs. Provides immediate protection on overload.
Dual-Element (FRN-R/FRS-R): Combines time-delay with current-limiting for motor branch circuits in commercial and industrial panels.

Fuse Classes & Ratings

Class H (NON, REN): Standard 10,000 AIC rating for residential and light commercial use. Available in 250V and 600V ratings.
Class RK5 (FRN-R, FRS-R): 200,000 AIC current-limiting fuses for commercial panels and motor circuits.
Plug Fuses (S, T, W): Edison-base and rejection-base plug fuses for older residential panels. Always match base type to panel.
