Fusing Information

  • Fuses are NOT included since panels can be used with various infrared heat sources.
  • Quartz Lamp Heat Sources: Use FRS-600V (or equal) “Time Delay” fuses; Class RK-5.
  • Quartz Tube & Flat Panel Emitter Heat Sources: Use KTS-R 600V (or equal)
  • “Fast Acting” fuses; Class RK-1.
  • *Circuit fusing less than 35 Amps will require the use of fuse reducers – Not included
