Feature: High current rating of 1500 A enables protection of large feeders and main bus sections. This capability reduces the risk of catastrophic outages and equipment damage by delivering fast, reliable fault isolation in high-demand installations. Application: ideal for large mains, transformer-fed feeders, or switchgear in manufacturing plants, data centers, and process facilities. Feature: 200 kAIC interrupt rating ensures robust fault clearance even in systems with high short-circuit currents. Business impact: mitigates downstream damage, minimizes unplanned downtime, and lowers maintenance costs. Application: well-suited for critical power paths in heavy industries like metals, petrochemicals, and pharmaceutical processing. Feature: 600 V rating and Class L construction enable safe operation in standard industrial environments while supporting selective coordination with downstream protection. Business impact: improves safety margins and reduces arc-flash risk while maintaining compatibility with common control voltages. Application: protection points in motor control centers and panelboards across plant floors. Feature: Glass melamine tube with silver-plated end bells plus non-indicating design and bolt mounting provide robust mechanical durability and straightforward installation. Business impact: reduces commissioning time, simplifies diagnostics, and lowers field labor costs. Application: suitable for retrofit or new builds in crowded enclosures. Feature: RoHS compliance, UL Listed, CSA Certified packaging, standard packaging; 1 piece per package; weight 6 lb; dimensions 10.75 in L × 3 in W × 3 in H. Business impact: supports regulatory alignment and predictable inventory planning, delivering better procurement control across multiple sites. Application: global manufacturing facilities and OEM panel assemblies.

FAQs
The LCU1500 is designed for bolt mounting, with a footprint of 10.75 inches in length and 3 by 3 inches for width and height. It weighs 6 pounds and comes in standard packaging as a single unit. Its non-indicating design reduces nuisance indicators, while the bolt-mount format supports straightforward retrofits in crowded or legacy panels without extensive panelwork.
The fuse provides an amperage rating of 1500 A, a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, and a voltage rating of 600 V. These specifications indicate it can safely interrupt very high fault currents in industrial circuits up to 600 V, protecting downstream equipment and enabling selective coordination with upstream protection devices to minimize outages.
Large-power feeders, main bus protection, and switchgear assemblies in manufacturing, data centers, and process facilities are prime candidates. Yes, the LCU1500 is RoHS compliant, UL Listed, and CSA Certified, ensuring regulatory compliance and safe integration into regulated environments across global sites.
UL Listing and CSA Certification validate electrical safety and performance for North American applications, while RoHS compliance confirms restricted use of hazardous substances. These certifications support procurement decisions, risk management, and compliance with corporate and regional safety programs across multiple facilities.
There is no warranty stated for the LCU1500, so plan for lifecycle replacement in standard maintenance cycles. Its robust 200 kAIC interrupt capability and 600 V rating support long service in high-demand plants, but ensure stock management aligns with spare parts strategies and panel retrofit schedules to minimize downtime when replacements are needed.
