KLPC5000 - 5000Amp Fuse

KLPC5000 - 5000Amp Fuse

At 5000 amps, getting your fuse specifications right is about much more than matching the number printed on the label. The KLPC5000 is a Class L, time-delay, current-limiting fuse designed for high-amperage electrical equipment requiring a 5000A rating, up to 600VAC or 480VDC, and bolt-in construction. The series also provides a minimum ten-second time delay at 500% of rated current, helping it withstand temporary system surges while maintaining current-limiting performance during a short circuit. For replacement work, match the full electrical and physical specifications—not just the 5000A rating.

Key Features and Benefits

• 5000A continuous current rating for equipment specifically designed around this Class L fuse rating.
• Rated for a maximum of 600VAC and 480VDC, providing clearly defined AC and DC application limits.
• Class L construction gives you an essential compatibility point when matching an existing fuse or equipment specification.
• The time-delay opening characteristic is designed to withstand temporary system surges that could otherwise cause unnecessary fuse operation.
• The KLPC series provides a minimum ten-second time delay at 500% of rated current, according to the manufacturer.
• Current-limiting performance is intended to reduce the damaging effects of short-circuit current on equipment and system components.
• Bolt-in construction and mounting make the physical format straightforward to identify when checking equipment compatibility.
• Non-indicating design matches applications that do not require an integral fuse-status indicator.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The manufacturer identifies the KLPC series as UL Listed Class L fuses and states that the series provides a minimum of ten seconds of time delay at 500% of rated current while maintaining its specified current-limiting characteristics. The supplied information does not provide an individual UL listing number specifically for KLPC5000, so no catalog-specific listing number is assumed.

Where It Works Best

The KLPC5000 best matches electrical equipment designed for a 5000A Class L, time-delay, current-limiting, bolt-in fuse with electrical requirements matching its supplied ratings. The manufacturer positions the KLPC family for overcurrent protection of circuits from 200 through 6000 amps, putting this 5000A model toward the upper end of that series range.
