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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29522 is a cartridge-style, time delay fuse rated at 20 amps and 200 kiloamps interrupting capacity. It carries an RK5 class designation, making it suitable for general-purpose branch circuit and equipment protection where inrush current tolerance is required. The dual-element construction allows the fuse to absorb short-duration overcurrents without nuisance tripping while still responding quickly to sustained fault conditions. Licensed electricians and maintenance technicians install this fuse type in motor circuits, HVAC equipment, and industrial control panels where RK5 rejection fusing is specified.

This fuse is designed for general-purpose electrical protection applications in both residential and light commercial settings. It fits standard RK5 rejection-style fuse holders and panel fuseholders where a 20-amp time delay cartridge fuse is called for. Typical installations include motor branch circuits, HVAC disconnect boxes, and control equipment enclosures. The 200 kA interrupting rating provides a high level of fault current protection, making it appropriate for services with high available fault current.

Key Features

• CSA Certified and UL Listed under UL 198E; also meets Federal Specification W-F-1814 QPL requirements
• Sold in a package quantity of 10 with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard RK5 cartridge fuseholders requiring a 20-amp time delay fuse.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or replacing a fuse. Use an approved fuse puller for cartridge fuses to prevent arc flash exposure. Verify the fuseholder is rated for the RK5 class and that the replacement amperage matches the circuit protection requirements.
