BUSSMANN LP-CC-3 Fuse, 3 A, Standard, 600 V, Melamine Tube

Bussmann LP-CC-3 fuse introduces a controlled delay between the occurrence of a triggering event and the response of the circuit it protects. It prevents unnecessary tripping or shutdowns caused by temporary electrical surges or transients.

Working Mechanism:

• When current runs through a time delay fuse-protected circuit, it passes through the fuse's metal wire (fusible element).
• Because of the wire resistance, the current flowing through the fusible element generates heat.
• The time delay mechanism allows the fuse to survive the initial surge of the current during motor startup or other temporary high-current events.
• The fusible element melts when the heat accumulation reaches a critical threshold, breaking the circuit.

Features:

• Bussmann LP-CC-3 fuse has a rejection style for proper mounting and a melamine tube for stability at high temperatures.
• This non-indicating fuse has ferrule-to-ferrule end connections for stable installation.
• It further features two elements to handle both inrush currents and sustained overcurrents.
• This Class CC, Low-Peak fuse has a response time of 12 seconds at 200 percent of its rated current (3A).

Compatible Accessories:

• Bussmann HPS-RR Fuse Holder: This panel mount fuse holder has quick-connect terminals for easily installing the brand's LP-CC-3 fuse into any electrical panel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the interrupt rating of this Bussmann fuse?

A. This Bussmann LP-CC-3 fuse has an interrupt rating of 200kAIC at 150VDC.

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 a time-delay fuse differ from a standard fuse?

A. A standard fuse responds immediately to overcurrents and will blow if the current exceeds its rating. In contrast, a time-delay fuse intentionally introduces a delay in its response, allowing it to tolerate temporary overcurrents without tripping.
