Frequently Asked Questions
KL-400LMR FAQ
Who should use KL-400LMR and why?
Lighting technicians, electricians, and power distribution professionals working with 400A temporary power systems will benefit from KL-400LMR. Its red housing provides instant visual phase identification, while the Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius ensures durability in demanding field conditions.
What voltage and amperage is KL-400LMR rated for?
KL-400LMR carries a maximum rating of 400A and 600V 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 red version of the K-LOK 400A male line connector?
Red marks Phase B (L2) in North American wiring and Phase C (L3) under Chinese GB 50303 standards. It is one of the most visually distinctive colors on a busy job site, helping crews quickly trace the second phase conductor. Choosing KL-400LMR in red ensures your power distribution system follows established color conventions, speeding up setup and reducing wiring errors.
Is KL-400LMR UL listed and what does that mean?
Yes. KL-400LMR carries cRUus listing (both UL and cUL) 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-400LMR?
KL-400LMR is widely used in broadcast operations and outside broadcast (OB) van power distribution. Its 400A / 600V AC/DC rating, combined with CAM-type universal compatibility and red phase coding, makes it a versatile choice across the entertainment, construction, and industrial sectors.
What housing material is used in KL-400LMR and why does it matter?
KL-400LMR uses a Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius. Santoprene TPV combines the flexibility of rubber with the processing advantages of thermoplastic, delivering excellent chemical resistance, UV stability, and durability under repeated mechanical stress — exactly what professional power connectors face on tour and on set.
