FAQs
The LPJ-4-1/2SP uses ferrule-end connections and is designed for standard fuse holders in common panel enclosures. With a compact 0.81 in cross-section and 2.25 in height, it fits into typical control panels and motor starters, providing a straightforward replacement path for Class J protection in new builds or retrofits.
This fuse is rated at 4.5 A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 300 Vdc. It delivers an interrupt rating of 300 kAIC at 600 Vac and 100 kAIC at 300 Vdc, and it features a time-delay, dual-element current-limiting design suitable for motor protection in surge-rich environments.
Yes. The LPJ-4-1/2SP is CE Marked and RoHS Compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for many global markets and helping streamline cross-border procurement and compliance documentation.
Best for motor protection in control panels, drives, conveyors, pumps, and other motor-driven equipment. The time-delay feature accommodates motor inrush, while the high interrupt rating provides robust protection against short circuits in demanding automation environments.
Select a fuse with an amperage rating that matches the motor full-load current, consider the dual-element time-delay design for motor start-up, and verify compatibility with your protection scheme and panel hardware. Confirm the connector type (ferrule ends) and ensure the installation follows manufacturer guidelines to maximize reliability.
