Littelfuse KLPC4000 - KLPC series POWR-PRO™ fuses provide ideal overcurrent protection for circuits from 200 through 6000 amperes. KLPC series POWR-PRO™ fuses specification-grade construction and performance meet or exceed the most stringent project specifications: 99.9% pure silver links, silver-plated copper end bells, glass-reinforced melamine bodies, O-ring seals between body and end bells, and granular quartz fillers. KLPC series POWR-PRO™ fuses are the only UL listed Class L fuses that provide a minimum of ten seconds time delay at 500% rated current and are also as current limiting as the fastest Class L fuse on the market. On average, the peak let-through currents of KLPC series fuses are 10% less than any other "time-delay" Class L fuse.

Overview

The Littelfuse KLPC4000 POWR-PRO™ Class L fuse (SKU: KLPC4000) delivers superior overcurrent protection for industrial and commercial circuits rated from 200 to 6000 amperes. Engineered with specification-grade construction, these UL-listed Class L fuses meet or exceed stringent project requirements. The fuse features 99.9% pure silver links for optimal conductivity, silver-plated copper end bells for corrosion resistance, and glass-reinforced melamine bodies for exceptional mechanical strength and arc resistance. O-ring seals prevent moisture ingress, while granular quartz fillers provide effective arc quenching and thermal stability, ensuring consistent performance in demanding conditions. The KLPC4000 is the only UL-listed Class L fuse offering a minimum of ten seconds time delay at 500% rated current, effectively managing inrush currents from motor starts or transformers without nuisance tripping. Its current-limiting capability rivals the fastest Class L fuses, with peak let-through currents averaging 10% lower than other time-delay Class L fuses. This significantly reduces stress on downstream equipment, enhancing system safety and protecting sensitive components in switchgear, motor control centers, and power distribution panels. Typical applications include industrial power distribution in manufacturing and processing plants, high-amperage services in commercial buildings like data centers and hospitals, utility and renewable energy systems, and heavy machinery with large motors. The KLPC4000 is designed for reliability in critical infrastructure, ensuring uptime and compliance with industry standards.
