KRP-CL-200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KRP-CL-200 is a 200A 600VAC cylindrical cartridge fuse with bolt mount configuration, manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division as part of the HI-CAP® KRP-CL series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing maintenance and system continuity in industrial and electrical applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility to ensure proper system operation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KRP-CL-200 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Current Rating: 200A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 600 VAC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Bolt Mount (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Class: L (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Cylindrical, Blade Terminal (Bolt) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 2.500" Dia x 3.750" L nominal (exact match required)

The KLPC200.X from Littelfuse Inc. meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent. Additional DC voltage capability (480 VDC) and enhanced breaking capacity on DC (300kA) represent supplementary performance characteristics that do not compromise AC-rated applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KLPC200.X is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete KRP-CL-200. Both components share identical electrical ratings for AC applications (200A, 600 VAC) and mechanical compatibility (bolt mount, cylindrical cartridge configuration, Class L). The KLPC200.X carries active product status with CE, CSA, and UR certifications, ensuring continued availability and regulatory compliance. The dimensional variance (0.002" in length) is within manufacturing tolerance and does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance. The KLPC200.X's additional DC voltage rating and enhanced DC breaking capacity provide supplementary capability without impact on AC-rated circuit protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KLPC200.X be used as a direct replacement for KRP-CL-200 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical specifications for 200A, 600 VAC cartridge fuse operation with bolt mount configuration, Class L rating, and slow blow response time. Mechanical dimensions are equivalent within manufacturing tolerance.

Q: What is the significance of the KLPC200.X's 480 VDC rating?

A: The 480 VDC capability is an additional feature of the KLPC200.X that does not affect AC circuit protection. For AC-only applications, this parameter is not relevant to substitution compatibility.

Q: Are there dimensional concerns with the 0.002" length difference?

A: No. The difference between 3.750" and 3.752" is within standard manufacturing tolerance for cylindrical cartridge fuses and does not affect mechanical fit in bolt mount holders.

Q: What certifications does the KLPC200.X carry?

A: The KLPC200.X holds CE, CSA, and UR certifications, supporting compliance requirements across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.

Q: Why is the KRP-CL-200 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The KLPC200.X provides functional equivalence for ongoing system maintenance and component replacement.
