Bussmann series KRP-CL Class L fuse data sheet no.1016
With a 500 A amperage rating, the KRP-CL-500 protects high-current circuits from overload while enabling coordinated protection with upstream devices. This reduces the risk of collateral outages on feeders and supports selective tripping, translating to less downtime and lower maintenance costs in manufacturing lines. The time-delay Class L design handles brief inrush currents typical of motors and transformers without nuisance trips, boosting overall equipment availability and extending asset life in CNC machines, presses, and conveyor systems. An interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 600 Vac provides robust fault-current interruption, enhancing safety and downstream protection for large power distribution panels. Its 600 V rating supports safe operation in common industrial environments, while the small footprint frees cabinet space and simplifies layout in compact control panels. Blade end x blade end connections enable fast, reliable installation in standard fuse holders, enabling straightforward retrofits and serviceability in existing Eaton Bussmann series installations. RoHS compliance reinforces regulatory alignment across global plants, reducing supply-chain risk and disposal concerns in modern automation environments.

FAQs
The KRP-CL-500 uses blade end x blade end connections, designed for straightforward installation in standard Bussmann/Eaton fuse holders. Ensure the holder is rated for 600 V service and install only in panels with compatible mounting space. Verify secure seating and proper alignment to prevent arcing. Always follow lockout/tagout procedures during replacement to maintain safety.
Key specs include a 500 A amperage rating, 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac, and a 600 V voltage rating. It is a Class L time-delay fuse with a RoHS-compliant design and a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained panels. These attributes support reliable protection for high-current circuits while tolerating brief inrush events.
Yes. The 500 A rating and time-delay Class L characteristics make it well-suited for motor feeders, MCCs, and panelboards where brief startup surges occur. Its small footprint and blade-end connections simplify retrofits and upgrades in existing Eaton Bussmann series installations, helping maintain selective coordination and minimizing downtime in manufacturing environments.
The KRP-CL-500 is RoHS compliant, aligning with modern environmental and regulatory standards. While other certifications aren’t listed in the available data, the 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac and 600 V rating establish robust electrical performance and safety suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Adopting the KRP-CL-500 can reduce downtime by tolerating normal inrush without nuisance trips thanks to its time-delay design, while delivering strong fault-current interruption (200 kAIC). The compact footprint simplifies panel design, potentially lowering enclosure costs and improving serviceability, which contributes to lower lifecycle costs in high-current power distribution.
