Frequently Asked Questions
What does KL-400SSMB do and where is it typically used?
KL-400SSMB provides a safe, reliable single-pole male connection point for 400 A circuits at up to 600 V AC/DC. As a panel mount receptacle with blue color coding, it is commonly used in entertainment power distribution, temporary construction feeds, and industrial installations.
What are the electrical ratings of KL-400SSMB?
KL-400SSMB is rated for 400 amperes maximum continuous current at 600 V AC/DC maximum. It accepts conductors from #6 to 4/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge), with brass contacts delivering low-resistance connections for sustained high-current loads.
What does the blue housing on KL-400SSMB signify?
In North America, blue designates Phase C (L3), completing the three-phase color set. Under IEC 60446, blue is reserved for the Neutral conductor - making this color essential for international projects and cross-border equipment pools. Color-coded connectors like KL-400SSMB 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-400SSMB?
KL-400SSMB meets UL 1691 ( Cam-Type, Locking-Type Separable Connectors), is UL / UL / cUL Listed under E332947, rated UL Enclosure Types 3R for weather resistance, carries a HB / UL94 flame class, 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-400SSMB commonly deployed?
You will find KL-400SSMB at work in trade shows and exhibition installations that demand professional-grade temporary power. The blue color coding and 400-amp capacity make it particularly well suited for multi-phase power distribution in professional settings.
