Authorized Littelfuse Distributor
Littelfuse KLNR002 - KLNR/KLSR series RK1 fast-acting fuses were the earliest type of current-limiting fuse 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 inrush currents. In such applications, KLNR/KLSR series fuses may only provide short-circuit protection. We recommend using POWR-PRO™ LLNRK/LLSRK series RK1, dual-element, time-delay fuses in all new applications requiring the current-limiting ability of UL Class RK1 fast-acting fuses, or in existing applications where fast-acting RK1 or RK5 fuses have been opening on harmless system surges such as motor starting currents.

Overview

The Littelfuse KLNR002 RK1 fast-acting fuse, part of the KLNR/KLSR series, delivers rapid overload and short-circuit protection for industrial electrical systems. Engineered with a single-element, silver link design, this fuse provides immediate response to fault conditions, making it essential for critical applications where fault currents must be interrupted instantly to prevent equipment damage or hazardous conditions. The KLNR002 is optimized for fast-acting protection, restricting let-through energy during fault conditions to levels far below those of non-current-limiting fuses. This current-limiting capability is particularly valuable in protecting sensitive downstream equipment, including motors, transformers, and control panels, from the devastating effects of high fault currents. The silver link design ensures consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures and conditions, providing reliability even in harsh industrial environments. The KLNR002 is UL Class RK1 rated, ensuring compliance with stringent safety and performance standards for industrial fuses. Its compact design and broad current rating range (1-600 A) make it suitable for panelboards, motor controllers, and branch circuit protection in both commercial and industrial settings. Professionals in electrical engineering, maintenance, and system design rely on Littelfuse’s reputation for innovation and quality when selecting fuses for critical applications. Installation is straightforward, with standard RK1 fuse block compatibility ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. Regular inspection and replacement of fuses after fault events are essential to maintain system reliability. The KLNR002 is ideal for resistance heaters, lighting circuits, and non-inductive loads, offering an economical single-element design for reliable protection.
