Ideal Industries 30-C1616 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size fuse does the IDEAL 30-C1616 SLK fuse kit take, and is one included?
The 30-C1616 accepts a 13/32 x 1-1/2 inch midget-style fuse, and the fuse is not supplied with the kit. Order the fuse separately, sized to the luminaire load, before the crew goes up the pole.
2) What wire sizes will the IDEAL SLK in-line fuse holder crimp onto, and does it work with aluminum conductor?
Wire range is 2 through 14 AWG, and the connections are rated for both copper and aluminum. That covers typical pole feed taps and the smaller fixture leads on the same part, so one kit handles both ends of a roadway lighting drop.
3) Can an in-line breakaway fuse holder be buried in a handhole or direct-buried where it may see water?
The SLK disconnect kit is Listed to UL 486D, which is the standard for submersible wire connectors, so it is built for wet and submerged locations like pole bases and handholes. That is the reason it shows up in street and parking lot lighting work rather than a dry-location fuse holder.
4) Is the 30-C1616 the crimp version or the set screw version?
Model 30-C1616 is the in-line breakaway crimp version, covering one line and one load connection. IDEAL builds the SLK line in both set screw and crimp terminations, so if your crew is not carrying a crimp tool for 2 through 14 AWG, specify the set screw variant instead.
5) What are the amp and voltage ratings on the IDEAL 30-C1616 SLK disconnect?
Rated 30A at 600V, with a 105 degree C conductor temperature rating. The 600V rating covers 120V, 240V, 277V and 480V roadway and area lighting circuits, and the 105 C rating means it can be used with THHN and similar high-temperature building wire.
6) What does breakaway mean on a street light fuse holder, and why does it matter?
The fuse holder body pulls apart under load so that if a pole is struck by a vehicle, the connection separates instead of dragging live conductors with it. That is why the SLK kit is specified for roadway, street, parking lot and area lighting rather than general branch circuit fusing.
7) How many fuse holders do I need per light pole?
The 30-C1616 kit is configured 1 line/load, meaning one conductor in and one out through a single fuse. For a two-wire fused ungrounded circuit you would use one kit per hot conductor, so a 120V line-to-neutral fixture normally takes one and a 240 or 480V two-hot fixture takes two.
8) Why is the SLK fuse holder orange?
The bright orange body makes the disconnect easy to spot inside a crowded pole base or handhole full of black conductors, which cuts the time a maintenance tech spends finding the fuse on a dark call-out.
