Overview
The Bussmann KRP-C-1200 is a Low-Peakâ„¢ Class L current-limiting, time-delay fuse designed for industrial-strength circuit protection. This time-delay, current limiting fuse has an interrupting rating of 300 kA at 600 Vac and 100 kA at 300 Vdc, making it suitable for high-capacity electrical systems where overload and short-circuit protection are critical.
Key Features
- All-purpose silver-linked fuse for both overload and short-circuit protection for high capacity systems
- 4 second response at 500% rated current for time-delay coordination with motor loads and other equipment
- Selective coordination ratio of 2:1 within Low-Peak fuse family prevents electrical shutdowns from extending beyond the failed circuit
- Class L fuse shape is cartridge blade
- Non-indicating, non-rejection design with bolted blade terminals for holder mount
