Value Collection BD-29515 RK5 Cartridge Time Delay Fuse 7A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29515 is a cartridge-style, time delay fuse rated at 7 amps and 200 kiloamps interrupting capacity, classified under Class RK5. It features a dual-element design that tolerates brief motor-start inrush currents without nuisance tripping, while still opening quickly on sustained overloads or short circuits. This fuse is a general-purpose overcurrent protective device used in branch circuit and feeder applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Installation is handled by licensed electricians working within NEC requirements for fuse-based overcurrent protection.

The BD-29515 is suited for use in fusible disconnect switches, panelboards, and fused safety switches where RK5 Class cartridge fuses are specified. Its time delay characteristic makes it appropriate for circuits serving motors, transformers, and similar inductive loads where a momentary inrush must be tolerated at startup. The 200 kA interrupting rating covers the fault current levels typically encountered in commercial and light industrial distribution systems. Sold in a package quantity of 10, it is a practical restocking choice for electrical service contractors and panel shops.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Class RK5 replacement cartridge fuse compatible with standard RK5-rated fuse clips and fusible disconnect switches that accept cartridge fuses in this amperage range.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for overcurrent protection. Always de-energize and lockout/tagout the circuit before removing or installing fuses. Use an appropriately rated fuse puller for cartridge fuse removal — do not handle energized fuses with bare hands or unrated tools. Verify the fuseholder is rated for Class RK5 fuses before installation.
