Value Collection BD--29524-ID Cartridge Fuse RK5 30A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--29524-ID is a cartridge-body, time delay fuse rated at 30 amps and classified as RK5. It is designed for general-purpose overcurrent protection in branch circuits and equipment circuits where inrush current tolerance is required. The time delay characteristic allows temporary overloads, such as motor start-up surges, to pass without nuisance tripping while still providing reliable short-circuit and overload protection. This fuse features a two-element construction and includes indicating capability, allowing technicians to quickly identify a blown fuse without a meter. It is installed by licensed electricians and qualified HVAC or industrial technicians.

This fuse is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where RK5-class fuse protection is specified. Typical installations include disconnect boxes, motor control panels, HVAC equipment, and load-center branch circuits requiring time delay fusing. The cartridge body format fits standard RK5-rated fuse holders and rejection-style fuse blocks. Sold in a package quantity of 10.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing a fuse. Use an appropriately rated fuse puller when servicing cartridge fuses in energized enclosures. Verify that the fuse holder is rated for RK5-class fuses before installation to maintain proper rejection compliance.
