LPJ-30SP LOW PEAK FUSE BUSSMANN
LPJ-30SP LOW PEAK FUSE BUSSMANN – Industrial 30A 600VAC/300VDC Class J Dual-Element Time-Delay Fuse
The LPJ-30SP LOW PEAK FUSE BUSSMANN (Model LPJ-30SP) is an industrial-grade, ultimate-protection dual-element time-delay branch circuit fuse manufactured by Eaton’s Bussmann series. Engineered specifically to deliver overcurrent, short-circuit, and motor-surge protection, this 30-amp, 600 VAC / 300 VDC Low-Peak™ Class J fuse combines high interrupting ratings with space-saving current limitation across industrial motor drives and power distribution panels.
Featuring dual-element time-delay performance, the LPJ-30SP LOW PEAK FUSE BUSSMANN holds a minimum 10-second time-delay at 500%Â of its rated current. This allows high motor starting inrush currents, transformer primary surges, and inductive coil transients to pass without nuisance openings. Under short-circuit conditions, its current-limiting capability safely interrupts prospective fault currents up to 300 kA RMSÂ Symmetrical at 600 VACÂ and 100 kAÂ at 300 VDC. Built in a standard UL Class J ferrule body format (13/16” x 2-1/4”), this fuse provides a compact footprint for space-constrained electrical enclosures.
Key Features of the LPJ-30SP LOW PEAK FUSE BUSSMANN
-
Dual-Element Time-Delay Design: Holds a minimum 10-second time-delay at 500% rated load, preventing nuisance tripping caused by heavy motor startup currents and inductive inrushes.
-
High 300 kA Interrupting Capacity: Rated to safely interrupt short-circuit currents up to 300 kA RMS Symmetrical at 600 VAC (100 kA at 300 VDC), ensuring compliance with NEC® requirements for high fault-current systems.
-
Compact UL Class J Form Factor: Standardized 13/16 inch x 2-1/4 inch (20.6 x 57.2 mm) ferrule dimensions save significant space compared to standard Class R or Class H fuses.
-
High-Level Current Limitation: Reduces peak let-through thermal energy (I^2t) and magnetic forces during short circuits, protecting downstream breakers, contactors, and switches.
-
Dual Voltage Operation: Operates continuously up to 600 VACÂ and 300 VDC, serving AC power systems and DC bus power circuits.
-
Type 2 “No Damage” Protection: Helps industrial motor starters and controllers achieve Type 2 protection standards under IEC and UL specifications.
Common Applications and Practical Usage
The high breaking capacity, 30AÂ rating, and surge withstand capability of the LPJ-30SP LOW PEAK FUSE BUSSMANN make it a protection component across heavy industrial applications:
-
Industrial Motor Controllers & VFDs: Protects small-to-medium AC motor branch circuits, soft starters, and variable frequency drive inputs against short circuits and overloads.
-
Control Transformer Primary Protection: Safeguards primary windings of power distribution transformers while withstanding high magnetizing inrush currents.
-
Main & Feeder Branch Disconnects: Serves as primary or secondary overcurrent protection in fused safety disconnect switches, panelboards, and motor control centers (MCCs).
-
Inductive & Resistance Heating Loads: Ideal for process heating equipment, solenoid valves, and commercial HVAC power circuits.

Operating Guidelines and Usage Tips
SAFETY NOTICE: Always isolate main power supplies and verify circuits are fully de-energized using a calibrated voltage tester prior to inspecting or replacing power fuses.
Holder Compatibility: Install in dedicated UL Class J ferrule fuse blocks or finger-safe modular holders (such as Bussmann CH Series Class J holders).
Motor Protection Sizing: Follow NEC® Article 430 rules for motor branch circuit protection, sizing the fuse at 150% to 175% of full-load amps (FLA) to balance overload protection with inrush tolerance.
To review official Class J fuse standards and low-voltage current-limiting overcurrent protection guidelines, consult the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Directory.
