Overview
The Bussmann KRP-C-601SP is a Class L time-delay, current-limiting fuse designed for high-capacity industrial power distribution and motor control applications. Rated at 601A with an interrupting rating of 300 kA at 600 Vac and 100 kA at 300 Vdc, this fuse combines fast short-circuit protection with time-delay characteristics to prevent nuisance trips on inrush currents while safeguarding equipment from sustained faults.
Key Features
- Class L current-limiting, time-delay fuse with 4 seconds minimum delay at 500% of rated current
- Current-limiting design with glass melamine tube and silver-plated end bells
- UL Listed (Guide JDDZ, File E4273), CSA Certified (Class 1422-02, File 53787), CE marked, and RoHS compliant
- All-purpose silver-linked fuse for both overload and short-circuit protection
- Industry’s only UL Listed and CSA Certified fuse with 300kA Vac interrupting rating that exceeds requirements for virtually all applications and provides fast short-circuit protection with optimal arc flash characteristics
