BUSSMANN LP-CC-4 Fuse, 4 A, Standard, 600 V, Melamine Tube

Bussmann LP-CC-4 Low-Peak fuse is a type of 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:

• Bussmann LP-CC-4 fuse is linked in series with an electrical circuit and serves as a path for electric current to flow.
• When current flows through the fuse, it encounters resistance.
• This resistance causes a small amount of heat to be generated in the fuse element.
• When the fuse element reaches the threshold temperature, it melts or breaks, resulting in an open circuit.

Features:

• Bussmann LP-CC-4 fuse features melamine tube construction for durability at high temperatures.
• This non-indicating fuse employs a rejection style for proper installation.
• It has a ferrule-to-ferrule end connections that allow stable installation.
• This Low-Peak fuse has a response time of 12 seconds at 200% of its rated current.
• It further features two elements to handle both inrush currents and sustained overcurrents.

Compatible Accessories:

• Bussmann HPS-RR Fuse Holder: This fuse holder aids in the easy installation of fuse on panelboards.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does ambient temperature affect the performance of time delay fuses?

A. Ambient temperature can influence the time delay characteristics of Bussmann LP-CC-4 fuse. High temperatures can accelerate the heating of the fuse element, potentially reducing the effective time delay.

Q. What happens if a time delay fuse is underrated for the application's current?

A. Underrating a time delay fuse can compromise the circuit's protection. The fuse might blow sooner than expected. This unexpected blow will disrupt normal operation due to harmless current spikes.
