KLSR008 - 8Amp Fuse

KLSR008 - 8Amp Fuse

When your equipment calls for an 8-amp Class RK1 fast-acting fuse, the KLSR008 delivers the electrical and physical characteristics you need. This current-limiting fuse uses the KLSR Series' single-element silver-link design to provide fast-acting overload and short-circuit protection. The KLSR008 carries maximum voltage ratings of 600VAC and 250VDC, with an interrupting capacity of 200,000A at 600VAC and 20,000A at 250VDC. Its industrial cartridge construction is designed for installation in a compatible fuse block, clip, or holder, and the specified holder series is LFR60030. When you're matching a replacement, don't stop at the 8A marking—confirm the Class RK1 configuration, fast-acting characteristic, voltage and interrupting ratings, cartridge format, and mounting requirements as well.

Key Features and Benefits

• 8A continuous current rating for electrical equipment specifically designed around this amperage.
• Class RK1 fuse configuration provides the specified fuse-class characteristics for the KLSR008.
• Fast-acting (F) operation responds quickly to overload and short-circuit conditions.
• The current-limiting design helps reduce equipment damage caused by the heating and magnetic effects of short-circuit currents.
• Rated for electrical systems up to 600VAC.
• Also carries a 250VDC maximum voltage rating for compatible DC equipment.
• Industrial cartridge construction supplies the specified physical format for this catalog number.
• Non-indicating design is suitable where integral fuse-status indication isn't required.
• Designed for installation using a compatible fuse block, clip, or holder.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The supplied manufacturer information identifies the KLSR Series as using a single-element silver-link design. For the KLSR008 specifically, the provided specifications confirm its 8A continuous rating, Class RK1 classification, fast-acting operation, current-limiting family style, industrial cartridge construction, and AC/DC electrical ratings.

Where It Works Best

The KLSR008 8A fuse suits electrical equipment that requires a Class RK1, fast-acting, current-limiting industrial cartridge fuse with the corresponding electrical ratings. The manufacturer points to variable speed drives, rectifiers, and other equipment containing surge-sensitive components as examples where the KLSR Series' fast-acting protection can be useful. Its current-limiting design is also intended to reduce damage associated with the heating and magnetic effects of short-circuit currents.
