Frequently Asked Questions
What does KL-150LFW do and where is it typically used?
KL-150LFW provides a safe, reliable single-pole female connection point for 150A circuits at up to 600V AC/DC. As a line connector with white color coding, it is commonly used in professional entertainment power distribution, temporary construction feeds, and industrial installations.
What are the electrical ratings of KL-150LFW?
KL-150LFW is rated for 150 amperes maximum continuous current at 600V AC/DC maximum. It accepts conductors from #8 to #2 AWG (American Wire Gauge), with brass contacts delivering low-resistance connections for sustained high-current loads.
What does the white housing on KL-150LFW signify?
White is universally recognized in North America as the Neutral conductor per NEC conventions. Using a dedicated white connector for neutral runs eliminates guesswork during setup and teardown, reducing the risk of miswired circuits. Color-coded connectors like KL-150LFW allow crews to visually verify correct phase wiring at a glance, which is especially valuable during fast-paced load-ins and load-outs.
What safety standards apply to KL-150LFW?
KL-150LFW meets UL 1691 and CSA C22.2 No. 1691-12 (Single Pole Locking-Type Separable Connectors), is cULus Listed under UL File E332947, rated UL Enclosure Type 3R (when mated) for weather resistance, carries a UL94 HB flame rating, and complies with RoHS hazardous substance restrictions. These certifications collectively ensure the connector is safe for professional use in entertainment and industrial environments.
Where is KL-150LFW commonly deployed?
You will find KL-150LFW in live event and touring power, film and broadcast production, trade shows, and industrial and emergency temporary power. The white color coding and 150-amp capacity make it particularly well suited for multi-phase power distribution in professional settings.
How do you assemble KL-150LFW in the field?
KL-150LFW features a modular design that enables rapid assembly and disassembly on site. Strip the cable, insert it through the housing, secure it with the double set screw termination, and lock the brass contact in place with the non-conductive POM retaining screw. The alignment arrow ensures correct orientation every time.
