Cooper Bussmann 600VAC 300VDC Low Peak Time Delay Fuse – LP-CC-15

When you’re choosing a fuse for your application, there are many considerations that must be made. The size of the current draw, the amount of energy stored in the circuit and even the physical size of the fuse are all factors to review when making your selection. First and foremost, the fuse must be selected based on its current-carrying capacity. This value is expressed in amperes (A). A general rule of thumb is to select a fuse with a current-handling capacity that is 20% greater than the maximum fuse current rating. As an example, if you are designing a circuit that will carry a peak current rating of 5 amperes, then you need to select a fuse that can carry at least 6 amperes. Cooper Bussmann’s 600VAC 300VDC Low Peak Time Delay fuses are designed to protect against current surges and overloading at the source point. A surge of higher than normal voltage in a power supply may cause an arc, which could damage the fuse if not contained. This can lead to premature failure of the fuse, which will no longer protect the device. The Low Peak Time Delay feature is designed to prevent this by containing the arc within the fuse until it burns out. This reduces total energy required to blow the fuse and increases its service life. The Cooper Bussmann Low Peak time Delay Fuse is rated 600 Volts AC and 300 Volts DC. It has a current rating of 20 Amps and a peak current rating of 50 Amps. The time delay temperature rise is 158 degrees. The glass case fuse is made of Boro Silicate Glass, the wire are made of Copper Alloy and the interlink is made of Polyester/Polyamide. The type of fuse is Medium Voltage/Medium Current.
