General Purpose Fuses
KLNR/KLSR Class RK1 Fuses
250/600 VAC • Fast Acting • 1 – 600 Amperes
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 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 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.
KLNR/KLSR series RK1 fuses were the earliest type of current-limiting
fuses 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 in-rush currents. In such applications, KLNR/
KLSR series fuses may only provide short-circuit protection.

Easy To Use
We recommend using POWR-PRO® LLNRK/LLSRK series Class RK1,
dual-element, time-delay fuses in all new applications requiring the
current-limiting ability of UL Class RK1 fuses. POWR-PRO LLNRK/
LLSRK series fuses are also recommended in existing applications
where fast-acting RK1 or RK5 fuses have been opening on harmless
system surges such as motor starting currents.
200,000 A.I.R. rating minimizes need for short-circuit calculations.
