The Bussmann EATON MDL-2 Misc Lot Fuses (8) refers to a collection of MDL-2 fuses manufactured by Bussmann (now part of Eaton). The MDL-2 fuse is a part of the MDL series, which is commonly used for overcurrent protection in electrical circuits. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and characteristics:

Key Features:

  1. MDL-2 Fuse Type:

    • The MDL-2 fuses are typically slow-blow or time-delay fuses, designed to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits.
    • These fuses are often used in lower-voltage circuits and low-current applications such as household appliances, lighting circuits, and small motors. The time-delay feature allows them to handle inrush currents that may occur during equipment startup without blowing immediately.
  2. Amp Rating:

    • The MDL-2 fuses are often rated at 2 amps. However, since this is a “Misc Lot” with 8 fuses, the lot could potentially contain fuses of varying ratings or different characteristics within the MDL series. It’s important to verify that the fuses you receive match your specific circuit requirements.
  3. Voltage Rating:

    • Typically, MDL series fuses are rated for 250V AC or 125V AC applications, which are common for household and light commercial circuits. Always check the exact voltage rating on the fuses in the lot to ensure compatibility with your system.
  4. Lot of 8 Fuses:

    • This lot contains 8 fuses, providing you with a bulk quantity for maintenance, repair, or replacement. Having multiple fuses on hand can be useful for facilities or individuals who need to maintain systems that require regular fuse replacements.
  5. Blow Characteristics:

    • Time-delay or Slow-blow fuses like the MDL-2 are designed to allow brief overloads or transient surges in current (e.g., motor startups) without blowing the fuse. However, they will blow if the overload persists for an extended period.
