Quick Summary

The Eaton LPJ-50SPI LPJ fuse is a time-delay, current-limiting protector for motors, drives, and control panels in industrial equipment. Nuisance trips during inrush or startup can cause costly downtime and unexpected maintenance, so reliable protection is essential. With CE marking and RoHS compliance, this Class J fuse aligns with global safety and environmental standards while delivering predictable interruption performance in demanding environments. Its dual-element design provides fast clearing for short circuits and controlled let-through during startup, helping to shield sensitive electronics and reduce arc-flash risk. The compact footprint and ferrule-end connections simplify integration in crowded enclosures, supporting efficient cabinet design and serviceability. This fuse also supports motor protection strategies with high in-rush tolerance.

Indicating, High in-rush current motor protection
Time-delay, dual-element design enables selective protection. The LPJ-50SPI's slow-acting elements tolerate normal motor inrush while maintaining fast response to short circuits, reducing shutdowns and protecting power supplies. Business impact: fewer nuisance trips translate into higher line productivity and lower maintenance costs in batch processes or continuous processes. Application: ideal for motor starters, conveyor drives, and pump assemblies where startups are frequent. Electrical rating clarity: 50 A rating, 600 Vac, with a 300 kAIC interrupt capability at 600 Vac ensures robust protection for high-energy circuits. Dual-element current-limiting behavior minimizes arc energy and protects conductors without sacrificing essential motor performance. This makes it suitable for control cabinets and panel boards where precise protection is required and downtime is costly. Physical footprint and installation: dimensions of 2.38 in length, 1 in width, 1 in height with ferrule-end connections, standard packaging simplify retrofit or new build insertions. The ferrule-to-ferrule connection supports reliable wire terminations, reduces chance of terminal loosening, and makes field replacement quick for technicians. It also supports standardized mounting in industry-standard enclosures. Compliance and reliability: RoHS compliant and CE marked enable compatibility with global product standards, while Class J classification ensures interchangeability with Bussmann LPJ fuses and other Class J devices. The indication option provides a visible fuse status for easier maintenance, while non-indicating variants suit spaces with minimal wiring. Real-world performance data show a 10-second response time at 500% overload, ensuring protection without excessive nuisance clearing. Industry context and best practices: choosing an LPJ fuse with time-delay characteristics aligns with motor protection strategies for variable-speed drives and high-inertia loads. The dual-element approach balances speed and selectivity, helping you meet safety and reliability targets while controlling energy use. In short, LPJ-50SPI supports uptime, compliance, and total cost of ownership improvements for industrial facilities.

FAQs

LPJ-50SPI uses ferrule-end terminations and fits a compact 2.38 in length, 1 in width, and 1 in height footprint. Its Class J, dual-element design supports reliable mounting in standard control panels. Ensure proper conductor sizing and torque per ferrule specifications, and verify compatibility with existing Bussmann LPJ stock to maintain interchangeability.
The fuse is rated for 50 A with an interrupt rating of 300 kAIC at 600 Vac (and 100 kAIC Vdc). Voltage rating is 600 Vac and 300 Vdc. The dual-element design provides current-limiting protection, and the device supports inrush tolerance suitable for motor starters and drives, reducing nuisance trips while preserving protection.
Yes. The LPJ-50SPI is RoHS compliant and CE marked, aligning with European regulatory requirements and environmental standards. This ensures compatibility across multi-site deployments, simplifies supplier qualification, and supports compliance reporting for industrial machinery builds and service projects.
Absolutely. The time-delay, dual-element current-limiting design tolerates normal motor inrush while delivering fast short-circuit clearing. This balance reduces nuisance trips during startup of pumps, fans, and conveyors, helping protect upstream drives and downstream electronics without compromising safety or equipment protection alignment.
Indicating variants provide a visual status of fuse condition in live panels, aiding maintenance scheduling and quick fault identification. Non-indicating versions save panel wiring and space when status indication is unnecessary. Choose based on enclosure design, maintenance workflow, and required visibility for line operators.
