KLPC3500 - 3500Amp Fuse

KLPC3500 - 3500Amp Fuse

At 3500 amps, the KLPC3500 is built for your equipment that requires a specific high-current Class L fuse—not just any fuse with the same amp rating. The KLPC3500 is a 3500A Class L time-delay, current-limiting fuse rated for up to 600VAC and 480VDC, with a bolt-in configuration for compatible equipment. When evaluating the KLPC3500 for replacement or equipment maintenance, check the complete electrical and physical specification—3500A rating, Class L configuration, voltage, interrupting requirements, time-delay characteristic, and bolt-in mounting—rather than relying on amperage alone.

Key Features and Benefits

• 3500A continuous current rating provides the specific amperage required by compatible high-current equipment.
• Class L fuse configuration gives technicians and buyers an important specification for identifying a suitable replacement.
• Rated for operation up to 600VAC.
• Also specified for compatible DC equipment up to 480VDC.
• Time-delay opening characteristic distinguishes the KLPC3500 from fast-acting fuse designs.
• The KLPC series provides a minimum 10-second time delay at 500% of rated current, according to the manufacturer.
• The KLPC series design includes built-in current-limiting performance.
• Bolt-in construction provides a clearly defined physical and mounting format for compatibility checks.
• Confirm the non-indicating design when matching the fuse to existing equipment requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The manufacturer identifies the KLPC series as UL Listed Class L fuses and states that the series combines current-limiting performance with a minimum 10-second time delay at 500% of rated current. An individual UL listing number specifically for the KLPC3500 is not included in the supplied product information, so no catalog-specific listing number is assumed here.

Where It Works Best

The KLPC3500 is best suited to electrical equipment specifically designed to accept a 3500A Class L, time-delay, current-limiting fuse with bolt-in mounting. It falls within the manufacturer's stated 200A-to-6000A application range for the KLPC series and provides the particular 3500A configuration covered by this catalog number.

For AC service, match the equipment requirements to the 3500A continuous rating, 600VAC maximum voltage, required AC interrupting rating, Class L configuration, time-delay characteristic, and bolt-in mounting. For DC service, confirm that the equipment requirements fall within the 480VDC maximum voltage and 20,000A interrupting rating at 480VDC.
