Motor branch circuits, transformer primaries and control panels need a fuse that rides through inrush current but still clears a short fast. The Littelfuse JTD050 is a 50 A, 600 VAC Class J time-delay fuse from the JTD (POWR-PRO) line: a dual-element, current-limiting cartridge with a 200 kA AC interrupting rating. Panel builders and maintenance electricians keep it on the shelf for Class J fuse blocks and fusible disconnects. The listing notes a package of 10, so confirm the sell unit with us before ordering.
Why electricians pick it
- Dual-element time delay rides through motor and transformer inrush, cutting nuisance openings.
- Current-limiting design gives IEC Type 2 (no damage) protection for NEMA and IEC motor starter components.
- 200 kA interrupting rating at 600 VAC and 20 kA at 300 VDC.
- Compact 1-1/16 in x 2-3/8 in ferrule body, smaller than an equivalent Class RK5 fuse.
- UL Listed Class J and CSA certified.

Pro tip from the counter
A 50 A Class J fuse shares the 60 A ferrule frame size, so it drops into a 60 A Class J block or disconnect, and the Class J body physically rejects Class H or RK5 fuses. If one of these opens on a motor circuit, check the overload relay and the motor for a locked rotor or ground fault before fitting a new one; a time-delay fuse rarely blows on normal starting current.
Best for: motor branch circuits, transformer primary protection, industrial control panels, Class J fusible disconnects, pump and HVAC equipment
