BUSSMANN LPJ-225SP Low Peak Fuse, 225 A, 600 V

Bussmann LPJ-225SP fuse is designed to protect sensitive equipment and circuits from overcurrent conditions.

Working Mechanism:

• When the current flowing through the circuit is within the safe range during normal operation, the fuse remains stable and the circuit functions normally.
• When an overcurrent occurs, the delay mechanism begins to react, but it takes time for a critical point to be reached.
• The delay mechanism triggers the fuse's tripping mechanism once it has absorbed enough heat or reached a certain level of movement.
• When the tripping mechanism activates, the fuse closes the circuit.
• This tripping keeps excessive current from causing damage.

Features:

• Bussmann LPJ-30SP Low-Peak fuse has two elements for both time-delay and current-limiting functions.
• Its time-delay feature prevents nuisance tripping caused by transient overcurrents during startup or other temporary conditions.
• The current limiting capability of this fuse protects downstream components from the harmful thermal and magnetic effects of short-circuit currents.
• This fuse has a melamine body to resist heat generated during resisting overcurrents.
• It has a response time of 10 seconds at 500% of the rated current (225A) and allows safe start-up and operation of motors.
• This Low-Peak LPJ-225SP fuse has bolted blade-type ends at both ends for trouble-free connections.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How can I troubleshoot issues related to Low-Peak fuses tripping unexpectedly?

A. If a Low-Peak fuse is tripping unexpectedly, it could indicate an underlying problem such as an increased load, short circuit or equipment malfunction.

Q. How does Bussmann LPJ-225SP fuse differ from a standard fuse?

A. It is a type of time-delay fuse with a dual-element design. It combines both time-delay characteristics and current-limiting capabilities. Unlike standard fuses, a Low-Peak fuse allows temporary overloads to pass without tripping the fuse while providing protection against sustained overcurrents.

Q. Is this fuse indicating or non-indicating?

A. This is a non-indicating fuse. But, if you require an indicating type fuse, the brand makes LPJ-225SPI fuse with easyID to check its status.
