Needed: Fused 120vac plug

[Open Neutral]

So I need a fused plug. Nothing exotic; just a ordinary 3-prong, with a fuse holder in there.

That should be easy, he thought. I've seen them, replaced fuses in same, but never spec'ed one....

Of course there are 100's of British ones, humongous that they are.
If I had 30A+ 240V ring wiring, I'd require fused plugs too.

But 120V US ones? Harder to find than a left-hand Whitworth helicoil, it seems.

That's what I need. I searched the Hubbell site for 15-20 minutes & it evaded my every probe...

Thanks.

OP says plug and I read receptacle.:slaphead:

Most Xmas light strings have fuses built-in to the plugs these days ...

That's ok, most folks call a receptacle a plug.:happyno:

Interesting how Hubbell says that the 5299 is fusible yet there are no specs for the fuses, any drawings or other information. Guess you'll just have to order one to find out. I think it was just luck that augie47 found it.

Or ask Hubbell specific questions...

I beg your pardon... It did take some searching and I guess we take them at their word that it's fusible.
I wondered about the rating.

They sent me a PDF too big for here. Here's a jpg version that may be legible.
