Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use KL-400SFG and why?
Lighting technicians, electricians, and power distribution professionals working with 400 A temporary power systems will benefit from KL-400SFG. Its green housing provides instant visual phase identification, while the Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 °C ensures durability in demanding field conditions.
What voltage and amperage is KL-400SFG rated for?
KL-400SFG carries a maximum rating of 400 A and 600 V AC/DC. It accepts wire gauges from #6 to 4/0 AWG, making it suitable for the conductor sizes typically used in 400-amp power distribution circuits.
Why choose the green version of the K-LOK 400 A female panel mount receptacle?
Green identifies the Ground (Earth / PE) conductor across North American and many international standards. Ground integrity is critical for personnel safety, and a distinct green connector ensures the safety earth is never confused with a current-carrying phase. Choosing KL-400SFG in green ensures your power distribution system follows established color conventions, speeding up setup and reducing wiring errors.
Is KL-400SFG UL / UL / UL / cUL Listed and what does that mean?
Yes. KL-400SFG is UL / UL / cUL Listed under File Number E332947, meaning it has been independently tested and certified to UL 1691 safety standards by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. This certification is required for professional power distribution in most North American jurisdictions.
What industries commonly use KL-400SFG?
KL-400SFG is widely used in broadcast operations and outside broadcast (OB) van power distribution. Its 400 A / 600 V AC/DC rating, combined with CAM-type universal compatibility and green phase coding, makes it a versatile choice across the entertainment, construction, and industrial sectors.
