Value Collection BD-29518 RK5 10A Time Delay Fuse

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29518 is a cartridge-style, time delay fuse rated at 10 amps and classified as RK5. It is designed to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits while tolerating brief inrush currents without nuisance tripping. The dual-element, time delay construction distinguishes it from fast-acting fuses, making it well suited for motor loads and other circuits that draw elevated current at startup. Licensed electricians and qualified maintenance personnel typically handle installation and replacement of this fuse class in branch circuit and feeder applications.

This fuse is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical panels, disconnect switches, and fusible load centers where RK5-class overcurrent protection is required. Its cartridge form factor fits standard fuse holders and blocks designed for RK5 rejection-style fuses. The time delay characteristic makes it appropriate for motor branch circuits, HVAC equipment feeds, and similar inductive loads that experience high startup currents.

Key Features

• RK5 fuse class with time delay (dual-element) construction for motor and inductive load protection
• 10 amp rating with 200 kA interrupting capacity for robust short-circuit protection
• Cartridge body type fits standard RK5-compatible fuse holders and disconnect blocks
• CSA Certified, UL Listed (UL 198E), and compliant with Federal Specification W-F-1814 QPL
• Two-element design tolerates motor inrush without nuisance opening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for RK5-class cartridge fuse positions in standard fusible disconnect switches, panelboards, and fuse blocks requiring a 10 amp time delay overcurrent protective device.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or inserting the fuse. Verify the fuse holder is rated for RK5-class fuses and that the replacement fuse amperage matches the circuit design. Never substitute a higher-amperage fuse or bypass the fuse holder.
