KLNR Series -
UL Class RK1 Fast-Acting Fuses KLNR/KLSR series RK1 fast-acting fuses were the earliest type of
current-limiting fuse developed. Their single-element, silver link
design enables them to provide fast-acting overload and short-circuit
protection. When used to protect inductive loads such as motors,
solenoids, and transformers, KLNR/KLSR series fuses must be greatly
oversized to prevent opening the fuses on harmless inrush currents. In
such applications, KLNR/KLSR series fuses may only provide short-circuit
protection.
We recommend using POWR-PRO™ LLNRK/LLSRK series RK1, dual-element,
time-delay fuses in all new applications requiring the current-limiting
ability of UL Class RK1 fast-acting fuses, or in existing applications
where fast-acting RK1 or RK5 fuses have been opening on harmless system
surges such as motor starting currents.
Applications:
- Resistance heaters
- Lighting circuits
- Non-inductive loads
- Molded case circuit breaker load centers and
panelboards have increased interrupting ratings when “series rated” with
Littelfuse KLNR/KLSR Class RK1 fast-acting fuses. Refer to panelboard
manufacturer’s literature for UL Listed combination of fuses and
panelboards. Series ratings up to 200,000 amperes are available.
Safety:
- 200,000 A.I.R. — Reliable interruption of all overcurrents up to 200,000 amperes.
- Extremely current limiting — Stops damaging short-circuit current faster than any mechanical protective device.
- Fast-acting — Provides fast-acting protection
to equipment such as variable speed drives, rectifiers and other
equipment containing surge-sensitive components.
Longer Equipment Life:
- Current-limiting design reduces damage to equipment caused by heating and magnetic effects of short-circuit currents.
Economical:
- Extremely current-limiting — often permits use of readily available, less costly equipment.
- Used as input or output fast-acting fuses for
surge-sensitive components, such as variable speed drives and
rectifiers, fast acting KLNR/KLSR fuses may prevent opening of expensive
semiconductor fuses protecting individual components.
Easy to Use:
- 200,000 A.I.R. rating minimizes need for short circuit calculations.
Dimensions:
- Refer to FLNR for KLNR dimensions and FLSR for KLSR dimensions.
