0KLC500.X

KLC500.X is an electrical specialty fuse developed by Kichler Labs. It is a low-voltage device designed for use in areas where high currents can pose a potential hazard. It can be used to protect circuits, components and devices from short circuits, overloads, and surges.

Application Field

KLC500.X is an engineered hard clay glass-style fuse. It is designed to be used in a variety of applications in the industrial, marine and medical industries. In industrial applications, KLC500.X can be used to protect wires, motors, pumps, and other high-current devices. In medical applications, it can be used to protect life-support systems and high-demand medical facilities. In marine applications, KLC500.X can be used to protect shallow-water vessels from potential electrical surges and shorts.

Working Principle

KLC500.X works by using a low-resistance metal filament to detect a short circuit or an overload. The device then uses an internal ceramic coating to "trip" or fuse the circuit. This ceramic coating is specifically designed to absorb heat quickly and create a current block, which stops current from flowing and prevents further damage. It is designed to cut off the current quickly, before it can do any damage to the surrounding equipment. It also has a higher melting point than other types of fuses, which increases its current-cutting capability, even when current surges occur.

KLC500.X is designed to be easy to install and maintain. It comes with detailed instructions that provide step-by-step instructions for installation. It also comes with a fuse-change indicator, which will show when it\'s time to replace the fuse. It also features an environmental seal, which helps protect it from moisture, dust, and other environmental contaminants. Lastly, KLC500.X is available in a variety of sizes and is UL Listed.
