Value Collection BD--29522-ID RK5 20A Time Delay Fuse

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--29522-ID is a cartridge-body, time delay fuse rated at 20 amps in the RK5 fuse class. It is a two-element, indicating-type fuse designed to protect electrical circuits from sustained overloads and short-circuit faults. The indicating feature provides a visible signal when the fuse has opened, reducing diagnostic time during service calls. Electricians and electrical maintenance technicians install this fuse class in commercial and industrial branch-circuit applications where time delay characteristics are needed to ride through normal inrush currents without nuisance opens.

RK5 class fuses are commonly used in motor branch circuits, HVAC equipment disconnect boxes, and general-purpose panel or fusible disconnect applications. The cartridge body format fits standard RK5 fuseholders and fuse blocks rated for 20 amps. The time delay rating makes this fuse suitable for loads with high startup inrush, such as single-phase motors and transformer-fed circuits, where an instantaneous fuse would open prematurely during normal startup.

Key Features

• RK5 class cartridge body fits standard RK5-rated fuseholders and disconnect blocks
• 20 amp rating with time delay characteristic handles motor inrush without nuisance opening
• Two-element construction provides both overload and short-circuit protection
• Indicating type gives visible blown-fuse indication to speed up troubleshooting
• CSA Certified to recognized safety standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fuse for standard RK5-rated cartridge fuseholders and fuse blocks in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

This fuse is installed by a licensed electrician following NEC requirements for branch-circuit overcurrent protection. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit at the upstream disconnect or panel before removing or installing any fuse. Use an insulated fuse puller rated for the voltage class of the circuit. Verify the replacement fuse class, amperage, and voltage rating match the fuseholder nameplate and circuit requirements before restoring power.
