They replace all Class H fuses which have only a 10,000 ampere interrupting rating. They are suitable for use in many residential and smaller commercial and industrial applications. NLKP series fuses are Canadian “Code” fuses specifically designed to meet Canadian Electrical Code Type P fuse requirements for residential use. They have a 10,000 ampere interrupting rating. However, to obtain the added benefits of time-delay, currentlimitation, and higher interrupting rating, consider the use of POWR-PRO® IDSR IndicatorTM fuses for circuits between 250 and 600 volts. The user gets all the benefits of time-delay RK5 fuses plus the added benefits of an indicating fuse that tells when it has opened. Complete information on these fuses may be found in the POWR-PRO® section of this catalog. For circuits up to 250 volts, see FLNR fuses in this section of the catalog. APPLICATIONS General purpose residential and commercial circuits with little or no motor load. Resistive heating loads. ECONOMICAL ■ For use in applications where lowest initial cost is the major consideration. SAFETY ■ 50,000 A.I.R., Class K5 — Adequate interrupting capacity for residences and many smaller facilities. 34 1 7 * 25 * 60 125 300 2 8 * 30 70 150 350 3 10 * 35 80 175 400 4 12 * 40 90 200 450 5 * 15 * 45 100 225 500 6 * 20 * 50 110 250 600 * NLKP series available only in those amperages preceded by an asterisk. Example part number (series & amperage): NLS 125 RECOMMENDED FUSE BLOCKS LH250 series (for NLN and NLKP series fuses) LH600 series (for NLS series fuses) Refer to Fuse Block section of this catalog for additional information. NOTE: NLKP series fuses have limited interrupting rating and should be used only where available short circuit current is known to be less than the fuse interrupting rating. Where available fault current is unknown, where it exceeds NLN/NLS interrupting rating, or where it may increase in the future, 200,000 ampere interrupting rating Littelfuse POWR-PROTM FLNR_ID/FLSR_ID IndicatorTM fuses and FLNR/FLSR series fuses provide superior protection for all motor and general purpose circuits containing inductive loads.
