BUSSMANN LPJ-17-1/2SP Low Peak Fuse, 17.5 A, 600 V

Bussmann LPJ-17-1/2SP fuse is used in electrical circuits to safeguard equipment from excessive current flow. It is ideal for industrial and commercial applications to protect against overloads and short circuits by breaking the circuit when the current exceeds a safe limit. This LPJ-17-1/2SP fuse is particularly suitable for systems requiring a rated current of 17.5A.

Working Mechanism:

• Bussmann LPJ-17-1/2SP fuse has a dual-element design that reacts when current surpasses the rated capacity of a circuit. One element manages minor overloads, while the other handles significant overcurrents and short circuits.
• In case of an overload or short circuit, the fuse's smaller element melts due to excess current-generated heat, deliberately introducing a delay. This delay accommodates brief surges, such as those during motor startups, causing unwarranted disruptions. If the overload persists and intensifies, the larger fuse element melts, rapidly interrupting the circuit to shield equipment and wiring from harm.

Features:

• Bussmann LPJ-17-1/2SP fuse comes with a dual-element design, enhancing its responsiveness to overcurrent events and providing an added layer of safety for critical equipment.
• It offers a time delay functionality, allowing temporary overloads to pass without triggering unnecessary interruptions, thus maintaining continuous operation.
• This Class J fuse offers ferrule end connections, ensuring secure electrical connections and contributing to its overall reliability in diverse electrical systems.
• It features melamine construction for durability and resistance to heat.

Compatible Accessories:

• Bussmann HM25030-1QR Fuse Block: This fuse block seamlessly houses the brand's LPJ-17-1/2SP fuse, enhancing its protection within electrical systems.
