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 |
