Fuse Selection Chart

Circuit Load Ampere Rating Class Fuse Type Voltage Rating Interrupting Rating (kA) Bussmann Remarks
Main, Feeder and Branch Conventional Dimensions - Class RK1, RK5, L
All type loads (optimum overcurrent protection) 0-600A RK1 Dual-element, time-delay 250V
600V
300 LPN-RK
LPS-RK
All purpose fuses. Great for combined short-circuit and overload protection.
601-6000A L Time-delay 600V 300 KRP-C
Motors, welders, transformers, capacitor banks (circuits with heavy inrush currents) 0-600A RK5 Dual-element, time-delay 250V
600V
200 FRN-R
FRS-R
Moderate degree of current-limiation. Time-delay passes surge current.
601-4000A L Time-delay 600V 200 KLU All purpose fuse. Time-delay passes surge currents.
Non-motor loads (circuits with no heavy inrush currents.) 0-600A RK1 Fast-acting 250V
600V
200 KTN-R
KTS-R
Must be sized larger (up to 300%) for circuits with surge currents.
601-6000A L Fast-acting 600V 300 KTU High performance fuse
Reduced Dimensions for Installation in Restricted Space
Any type loads (optimum overcurrent protection) 0-100A CF Finger-safe, dual-element, time-delay 600V 300 TCF All purpose fuses. Great for combined short-circuit and overload protection.
0-600A J Dual-element, time-delay 600V 300 LPJ
Power electronics applications (drives, SSR) J High speed 600V 200 DFJ Where branch protection is needed with high speed fuse characteristics
Non-motor loads (circuits with no heavy inrush current) J Quick-acting 600V 200 JKS Very similar to KTS-R but smaller.
0-1200A T Fast-acting 300V
600V
200 JJN
JJS
The space saver.
Branch
Motor loads (circuits with heavy inrush current) 0-30A CC Time-delay 600V 200 LP-CC Very compact. Rejection feature.
Non-motor loads 0-30A CC Fast-acting 600V 200 KTK-R
Control transformer circuits and lighting ballasts, etc. 0-30A CC Time-delay 600V 200 FNQ-R
General purpose (lighting panelboards) 0-20A
21-60A
G 600V
480V
100 SC Current-limiting
General Purpose (non-current limiting)
Miscellaneous 0-600A H or K5 250V
600V
10 NON
NOS
Modern cartridge fuse
Plug fuses for branch circuits and small component protection 0-30A S Dual-element, time-delay 125V 10 S Base threads differ based on size (rejecting.) Type T and S recommended for motor circuits. T and W have Edison base.
