This is one of the time delay fuses in the box outside by my a/c condensor unit:
New ones don't come with the copper end caps as far as I can tell:
I'm guessing they just get pried off the bad fuse and pressed onto the new fuse??

2Look like they do, but top one does not look to be in original condition. Might need to replace it, so you have a tight connection.– crip659Apr 20, 2021 at 17:31

3Yes, it looks bad but that split appears to be OEM– mike65535Apr 20, 2021 at 17:34

2System is brand new.....installed about a month ago. I'm thinking the split is there so it can be pulled off and placed on another fuse. If it wasn't split it would be next to impossible to get it on and off.– roastheadApr 20, 2021 at 17:34

Yes, it appears these adapters are common.

3They are called "fuse reducers" -- they aren't meant to be permanent per se, but sometimes, you don't have much of a choice Apr 21, 2021 at 0:11

Are you saying that sometimes the reducers will "fuse" to the end of the time delay fuse during an over current event? Apr 21, 2021 at 14:28

2I read that as you may not be able to find the right size right away, and you're not going to go back to it later down the road to try and find the right size again.– JPhi1618Apr 21, 2021 at 15:57
Those adapters are used to adapt the smaller fuses to a 60 amp style fuse socket and yes they are removable and transferred.
