BUSSMANN LP-CC-10 Fuse, 10 A, Standard, 600 V, Melamine Tube

Bussmann LP-CC-10 fuse is a time delay fuse that allows electrical surge for a short time before it actually blows. This fuse is useful in small horsepower motor circuits.

Working Mechanism:

• When electrical current flows through a circuit protected by a time delay fuse, it passes through the fuse's metal wire (fusible element).
• As current flows through the fusible element, it generates heat due to the wire resistance.
• During situations like a motor startup or other temporary high-current events, the time delay mechanism allows the fuse to tolerate the initial surge of current.
• Once the heat buildup reaches a critical point, the fusible element's material reaches its melting point.
• When the fusible element melts, it breaks the circuit.

Features:

• Bussmann LP-CC-10 fuse has melamine tube construction for stability at high temperatures.
• This non-indicating fuse incorporates a rejection style for proper mounting.
• It has ferrule-to-ferrule end connections that allow stable installation.
• This Low-Peak fuse has a response time of 12 seconds at 200 percent of its rated current (10A).
• It further features two elements to handle both inrush currents and sustained overcurrents.

Compatible Accessories:

• Bussmann HPS-RR Fuse Holder: This panel mount fuse holder features quick-connect terminals for simplifying the installation of Bussmann LP-CC-10 fuse into any electrical panel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How can I determine the appropriate time delay for my application?

A. Determining the appropriate time delay involves understanding the startup characteristics of the equipment and the expected transient currents.

Q. What precautions should I take when replacing a time delay fuse?

A. When replacing a time delay fuse, ensure that the new fuse has the same current rating, voltage rating and time delay characteristics as the original fuse.

Q. Do time delay fuses have any impact on energy efficiency?

A. Time delay fuses themselves do not significantly impact energy efficiency. However, they can improve system efficiency and reduce downtime by preventing unnecessary fuse blowing during transient conditions.
