BUSSMANN LPJ-60SP Low Peak Fuse, 60 A, 600 V

Bussmann LPJ-60SP fuse uses a long time delay to minimise needless fuse openings due to temporary overloads and transient surges. It helps to regulate the timing of switching operations during a motor startup.

Working Mechanism:

• This Bussmann fuse melts when the current passing through it exceeds its rated value.
• The melting of the fuse element opens the circuit, halting the current flow.
• This action safeguards the circuit against damage caused by excessive current.

Features:

• Bussmann LPJ-60SP Low-Peak fuse has two elements for both time-delay and current-limiting functions.
• Its long time delay reduces the number of unnecessary fuse openings caused by temporary overloads and transient surges.
• This Low-Peak fuse's current-limiting capability protects downstream components from thermal and magnetic effects of short-circuit currents.
• This fuse has a melamine body to resist heat generated during overcurrent resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is this unit indicating or non-indicating?

A. It is a non-indicating fuse. If you need an indicating fuse with the same current rating, check out Bussmann LPJ-60SPI fuse.

Q. How does the controlled heating in a time delay fuse prevent nuisance tripping?

A. The controlled heating in a time delay fuse prevents nuisance tripping by allowing temporary overcurrents, often associated with inrush currents during startup, to pass through without triggering the fuse. The fuse element heats up gradually, giving the circuit enough time to stabilise and the initial current surge to subside. This feature ensures that the fuse does not interrupt the circuit unnecessarily.
