Eaton Bussmann LP-CC-1/2 Medium Voltage Fuse

Eaton Bussmann LP-CC-1/2 Low Voltage Fuse

The Eaton Bussmann Series Class CC LP-CC fuse is a current limiting delay fuse designed specifically for circuit protection, setting a benchmark in the industry for its outstanding performance and reliability. The following is a detailed introduction to this fuse with a rated current of 0.5A, 600Vac, and 300Vdc voltage.

Product Overview

The Eaton Bussmann Series Class CC LP-CC fuse is recognized for its superior performance in providing overcurrent protection. This specific model, rated at 0.5 A, is designed to offer time-delayed current limiting protection, which is crucial for circuits that may experience high inrush currents, such as small horsepower motor circuits.

Core Features

• Time-Delay Protection: The LP-CC fuse is designed with a time-delay feature that provides a minimum of 12 seconds at 200% of the rated current. This characteristic helps prevent unwanted fuse blowouts due to surge currents while ensuring a fast response under fault conditions.
  
• Dual-Element Current Limiting: The dual-element design offers superior protection by limiting the let-through energy during short circuits, thereby protecting downstream components against damaging thermal and magnetic effects of fault currents.
  
• High Interrupting Rating: With an interrupting rating of 200kA at 600Vac and 20kA at 300Vdc, the LP-CC fuse can handle high levels of fault current, making it suitable for critical circuit protection.
  
• Rejection Style: The rejection style feature prevents the insertion of lesser-rated supplementary fuses, ensuring the correct fuse rating is always used for the application.

Application Fields

The LP-CC fuse is ideal for a variety of applications where precise overcurrent protection is required. It is commonly used in small horsepower motor circuits, control transformer circuits, and other applications where time-delayed protection is beneficial.

Technical Specifications

• Rated current: 0.5A
  
• Voltage level: 600Vac and 300Vdc
  
• Interruption capability: 200kA (600Vac) and 20kA (300Vdc)
  
• Response time: At least 12 seconds at 200% rated current
  
• Size: 13/32 "x 1-1/2" (10.3 x 38.1mm).

Advantages

• Selective Coordination: LP-CC fuses provide a 2:1 selective coordination ratio within the Low Peak fuse family, preventing unnecessary circuit shutdowns from extending beyond the fault circuit.
  
• Inventory consolidation: 13/32 x 1 1/2 inch supplementary fuses reduce SKU investment and minimize the potential for incorrect fuse application.

Summary

The Eaton Bussmann Series Class CC LP-CC fuse is a reliable choice for electrical circuit protection. Its time-delay and current-limiting capabilities, combined with a high interrupting rating and rejection style design, make it an excellent solution for applications requiring precise and effective overcurrent protection.
