IDEAL Industries SLK® Disconnect Fused Kit, In-Line Breakaway Connector

No, the fuse is sold separately. The SLK breakaway fuseholder accepts a 13/32 x 1-1/2 inch midget-style fuse, so you need to order that fuse size to match your load before the kit goes in the pole base.

The kit takes 2 through 14 AWG and is rated for both copper and aluminum conductors, so it works on the small feeder coming up the pole as well as the fixture leads.

It is Listed to UL 486D for submersibility, which is the listing that covers connectors used in wet or submerged locations such as a flooded pole handhole or a below-grade light base.

The fuseholder separates under impact, so if a vehicle strikes the pole the connection pulls apart at the holder instead of tearing the conductors out of the circuit. That is why it is used in roadway, street, parking lot and area lighting. The housing is bright orange so crews can spot it quickly inside the pole base.

Both terminations are offered in the SLK line. The C-series kits, models 30-C1212 through 30-C1626, are the crimp versions, which need a crimp tool and die but give a permanent termination with no set screw to back out under vibration. Choose set screw instead if you want a field-serviceable connection you can re-terminate without tooling.

They are the same 30A, 600V crimp-style breakaway fused disconnect in different line and load lead configurations. Seven models are offered: 30-C1212, 30-C1216, 30-C1222, 30-C1226, 30-C1616, 30-C1622 and 30-C1626. The base configuration is 1 line / 1 load, so pick the model matching the lead arrangement your pole wiring calls for and keep the same number across the site for standardization.

Yes. Pulling the SLK holder apart opens the circuit, so it serves as both the fuse and an in-line disconnect at the pole. It is a single-pole, 1 line / 1 load device rated 30A, 600V, so a 240V or 480V two-wire circuit needs one kit per ungrounded conductor.
